Andrea Cody

Andrea grew up in Houston’s Memorial area and began dancing when she was three years old. She trained at Houston Ballet Academy and later discovered she had a knack and a passion for social dancing. In high school at St. John’s School, she founded and directed the school’s popular Social Dancing Society. In 1997, she was a founding member and instructor for the Houston Swing Dance Society, for which she also served as Vice President. In 1999, she placed first in the city and tenth in the nation for swing dancing at the American Lindy Hop Championships. She is currently the Director of Dance Houston, a non-profit organization that produces dance concerts at the Hobby Center for Performing Arts.

Andrea attended University of Chicago where she directed several dance shows and designed a unique degree program studying social dance history, theory, and choreography. After graduating with honors, she returned to Houston. Since then, Andrea has taught dance in schools and studios, in preschools with Arts Alive!, and for Project Row Houses. She has choreographed for professional companies including City Dance Company, the Great Caruso Dinner Theater, and Kuumba House Dance Theatre. 

As the Director of Wedding Dance Houston, Andrea shares her knowledge of choreography and her love of social dancing with engaged couples and their loved ones, while also creating precious memories for them.
