My teaching style is fun, classically professional, precise to detail and strict . Learners get my full attention with discussion, individually correcting and helping each learner carefully. Before we get started I do ask for my learners to set up their device where I can see a full view of the body so I can make proper corrections for technique throughout the class. I also ask before you start your setup to please move any obstacles or objects out of the way for safety concerns. After that you are all set to dance!
Learning Goals
Students will learn to memorize ballet terminology and successfully executing ballet technique, musicality, stage presence and confidence.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
You DO NOT need a professional dance studio or alot of space for this class and exercises. I will video and teach from my front room with safe flooring or in my office room with carpet and my ballet barre. This will allow us to use what space we have in the most safe way possible for our technique. Ballet attire, ballet shoes, any color leotard is fine/workout wear or dance wear , pink tights or tan, hair in bun. Ballet barre is highly preferred for barre warm up/technique. If you do not have one a steady chair, table or couch to hold on too is perfectly fine! A safe open space to practice when we go in center for technique and safe flooring for turning, carpet is fine. Please make sure any furniture or objects are away from you as we begin class to insure safety for no injures. We will always begin class with stretching to insure proper body warm up before we get into the start of the class.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have over 15 years of dance training in ballet, ballet pointe, jazz, lyrical and modern dance. My background comes from competitive dance and singing. I'm a professional dancer, singer and actor in the entertainment industry today. With this knowledge and expertise this influence's my strict and professional teaching style and methods for my students to succeed in the entertainment industry or taking dance as a desired hobby or passion.
Students need an open and safe workout space free from ANY obstacles , furniture etc. Ballet shoes are ideal but not required for this class if you only have jazz or lyrical shoes thats fine, a water bottle, and the proper dance wear attire. The goal of my classes is to prevent injuries, so i please ask students to be supervised if needed so he/she can prevent injuries and be as safe as possible. Reviews
