Floryn began her teaching debut as a swim instructor when she was 17 years old and continued to teach swimming for 5 summers thereafter. When she graduated from college and came back to NY, she visited her old dance studio. Much to her surprise, the director of the school, Olga Berest, whom she has known since she was 4 years old said, "You need a job!" and gave her one.

Floryn has been teaching dance to children ages 3-18 at the Berest Dance Center since then. She built the jazz/music theater dance program at Berest and has developed it into a full jazz curriculum. She also teaches tap and ballet, and choreographs pieces for the school's holiday shows. (Private lessons/coaching below.)

Floryn also writes, directs and choreographs for both children and professionals. Her credits include conceiving, directing, music directing, and choreographing Schreiber High School's first Women's History Month theatrical production--"I Am A Woman"-- in 2007. Floryn has continued this tradition with the students, and in 2008 collaborated with the students on a brand new production called "I Heart the f-word." In 2009, she wrote/directed a farcical, twisted fairytale called "Pretty." In 2010, Floryn assisted Jason Summers, director, in Port Summer Show's THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE, as well choreographing all Tap numbers, and dance captaining the show. She returns to PSS in 2011 to assist Jason and choreograph 42nd STREET.
Away from New York, Floryn has directed children's theater productions for Prairie Fire Children's Theatre, touring 8 states in the midwest. Theater choreography credits include Bigfork Children's Theatre's production of "The Wizard of Oz" in Bigfork, MT; and (for professionals) Galveston Island Musicals' production of "Buddy and the Bopper" in Galveston, TX.

Finally, Floryn coaches acting and song performance, and teaches dance privately for those working on auditions or for those who simply wish to improve their skills. She also choreographs custom made solos for students auditioning for college, for those wishing to perform a solo in their senior recital, or for anyone with any desire for a solo!
