Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Brigham Young University-Idaho
I received a ballet scholarship in my Ballet training school in Idaho. I never fell out of love with Ballet, and continued to incorporate dance in my life by teaching Beginning Ballet students for 3 years. In 2010, I received a Pilates certification and went on to run my own small Pilates business and I continue to teach students and friends of all ages. I love dancing, but my greatest joy is choreographing movement as an art form. I truly hope for learners to find grace, poise, and confidence in the movements they learn.
I received an Elementary Education degree in 2003, in Idaho. I went on to teach third grade students for five years. I love to decorate and design and I am happy to share appreciation for Art and Design with my students. Reviews
