About the lesson

I have been dancing since I was 3 and have my Bachelor's in Dance Studies from the University of South Florida. I have made a career out of dance education over the last 10 years, and 8 of these years took place in NYC. I teach my students the importance of training your body for a specific style and the history of said style. I believe learning how to dance is not just about the steps but the connection with your body, and the music. How movement in your body makes others think or feel. How it allows the dancer to express themselves or move through hard feelings. Getting lost in dance and music is great, but understanding how to properly technically perform such skills takes time and discipline, which is what I am all about. A typical lesson with me starts with warm up & stretching, learning moves and where these moves may have originated or gained popularity, and then wrapping up the lesson with a small dance phrase before a cool down. I like to incorporate games as well for creativity and expression as the lessons continue.
