My Students

Teaching dance to students in a public school setting allows everyone a chance to be a part of the performing arts. I love that I am able to teach them another way to express themselves.

My students seek to improve their technique and become better everyday.

I love seeing and celebrating them when they succeed.

I hope to provide tools for my students to help improve their strength and technique.

My Project

Turn boards, resistance bands, stability discs, and stretching bands will help students improve their strength and technique in dance. Students will be strengthening the proper muscles, which will improve their technique. Their balance will be challenged and they will have to figure out how to stay up. They will build more confidence in their abilities.

When they get on stage, they can shine and show the progression the have made.

I hope to help each student improve their dance technique, especially those you don't have outside help from a studio.
