Class Experience

In this 3 day class students will learn the steps to shim sham.  This is a 1940's era dance.  I will break down the dance into three small sections and we will do one section per day. I will demonstrate each section prior to the students attempting the steps.     When it is the students turn to do the steps, I will have them copy me first, and then try the steps on their own.   If the students learn the steps quicker than planned, we will spend the last day perfecting timing and doing the whole choreographed section.  Students do not need any dance experience for this class.

Other Details

Parental Guidance
Students should have an open area with no tripping hazards, such as a living room with furniture pushed aside. Students should also wear tennis shoes for class. This is a low-key dance and does not contain strenuous dance moves. As with any physical activity, there is always a risk. If students attempt to dance in shoes with heels or flip flops they risk twisting an ankle.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello.
I am Annie and I am the Owner of Dance Away Dance Lessons.  I love to dance and also love teaching dance.  I have been dancing since 2016.  I started Dance Away Dance lessons in 2019.  I teach 7 styles of dance.   These styles include: 
Country
Hip hop
Irish
Lindy hop
English country dancing (ECD)
Latin
Ballroom

I am a homeschool graduate.   During my senior year of school and the years since graduating I have been expanding my dance style knowledge and also working on choreographing numerous dances in different styles. 

When I am not dancing I love spending time with my family, riding my horse, participating in rodeos, playing sports and enjoying nature.
