Class Experience

Welcome! I have a welcoming teaching style that is inviting to beginners. No experience is necessary, just an interest in learning about dance and ballet. I love to build student's confidence with encouragement.  We will learn and practice ballet technique and terminology. The students will learn a short combinations of steps with music. We will also have the opportunity to free dance so that children can enjoy moving in their own way. 

5 minutes: warm-up and stretches
15  minutes: learn and practice new skill
10  minutes: practice skills and free dance, good byes

All classes will focus on many of these skills: 
- Musicality
-Posture
-Balance
-Traveling
-Expression


No experience is necessary! I look forward to meeting your dancer and enjoying their progress. Thank you for trying my class!

Profile

Teacher expertise and credentials

I am a certified K-3 teacher with a master's in dance. I turn content standards into an adventure by combining physical challenges and learning. Whether I am teaching language arts or math facts my students will move to learn and learn to move. Sports, dance, and imitating animals are all game when we are on the move in my class! 

For kiddos who don't want to sit still I will soon be offering movement classes: ballet, jazz, yoga,  and fitness classes are just a few!  I have loved dancing since I was 8 years old. After undergrad and graduate school, I operated my own studio for 5 years. When my son was 2 he began using a wheel chair. He would zoom around the studio. This led to us creating many wheelchair dances that we performed at universities and churches.  

Learning, moving and grooving with your child would be my pleasure!
