ダンスと演技：おとぎ話の登場人物（4～8歳）

Hello and Welcome! My name is Ms. Whitney, and I’m excited to share my love of teaching and learning with the Outschool community. I’m a firm believer that the performing arts help build valuable tools for life, as well as support for academic skills, which is why I feel so fortunate to teach what I love. My goal for all my classes is to allow students a safe, inclusive, engaging environment where they can spark their own creativity, build their confidence, explore their self-expression, and not to mention…have some fun learning performing arts techniques. My teaching style is relaxed, energetic, but structured in order to provide students with a balance of activities that promote learning techniques as well as leaving space for students to express their ideas. 

For the past 8 years, I’ve taught performing arts classes for children ages 2 to 14. In addition to teaching the performing arts, I am schooling my 3 children at home. When we started our journey, I discovered I had a passion for creating curriculum and lesson plans, which has only blossomed while earning my master’s degree. I have a Master of Arts in Education with an emphasis in curriculum and instruction, and a BA in Psychology.

A little more about me:  My family and I recently moved to a piece of property that we are trying to turn into a mini sustainable farm. When I’m not teaching, I can be found gardening, working around the property, writing plays, reading, watching movies, and spending time with my family (which includes my dogs, cats, chickens, and fish).
