"I believe in providing the best possible foundation of
technique for successful careers in many forms of
dance. I do not just teach steps, but the process
necessary to make each movement brilliant. I achieve
this through well-planned classes, detailed explanations
of corrections, challenging each student individually,
and connecting them to the history of dance. Above
all, I'm passionate about dance and wish to impart that
to my students."
