Sharing the passion and joy I have for dance and movement to all people regardless of experience, level, background and age and witnessing the transformative benefits it brings my students is the greatest feeling in the world!

About the lesson

We meet the students exactly where they are with no judgement. The first lesson we identify goals and intentions of the student's interest in dance/movement and begin to create an effective and fun curriculum that respects the students learning style at a pace that is both appropriate and challenging. With awareness and respect for goals of the students as priority, we believe that the process and experience of learning and teaching is just as rewarding as the result! Exploring different ways of teaching various genres of dance and movement arts is our strength while providing a solid foundation in technique, skill, timing, rhythm and style. Our educators are trained in World Dance including Afrocuban, African, Caribbean Filipino traditional dance, Asian/Pacific Islander dances; Contemporary and Modern Dance; Acroyoga; Dance Fitness; Pilates; Salsa; and Hip hop. We can teach private to small/large group classes and willing to travel if needed. We ENJOY connecting people with dance and movement. We are PASSIONATE about teaching! We are ADVOCATES of the holistic health benefits of movement and dance! We BELIEVE in the creative magic dance and movement brings to everyone. We are EXCITED to meet you!
