I have many goals and visions for the studio this year. My philosophy on teaching has always encircled the idea that dance should be a fun and positive experience where people of all kinds can learn not only dance technique, but also life skills and self-confidence. I will strive to create a positive atmosphere where we focus on structured learning in a fun environment. My goal is for dancers to feel safe enough to let loose and engage their minds and bodies in activities that will promote social skills, coordination, and physical well-being. I plan to offer both a fun, recreational program for the less serious dancers and, eventually, an intense program to accommodate future professional dancers. A major goal of mine is to make each dancer feel equally special and welcome regardless of gender, nationality or special needs.
