My Students

My dance classes are my favorite classes to teach because my students are motivated and they really seek to push themselves to the limit. They are a talented bunch of creative young people who inspire me everyday.

They have an incredible ability to soak up choreography like a sponge and their group dynamic is very caring and compassionate.

My students are eager learners who are diverse culturally and socioeconomically.

Our school is a college preparatory high school in Southern California with a rigorous curriculum that is highly demanding. Students are expected to rise to the occasion academically despite social and financial obstacles that they may face. Our school is designated as a low socioeconomic status and we are deemed a Title One school.

My Project

I would love to have matching tan jazz shoes for my dance team. As it is, they have limited funds for purchasing costumes. Between all of the academic supplies and other costs that incur throughout high school, dance supplies can be a little lower on the list of priorities. Despite this adversity, I continue to advocate for my students and their needs because their financial disparity should not be a roadblock to looking unified and feeling amazing in front of an audience. They work hard and their hard work deserves recognition. I have several performances already lined up where this fantastic group of young dancers will wear their jazz shoes and I will be booking more community performances throughout the year so that we can share and give back to our local community.

I have an amazing group of young dancers whose creativity and self-esteem truly blossom throughout the semester as I have the pleasure of seeing them grow into a wonderful team.

Please help them cover their feet so they can dance safely on all terrains. Thank you in advance, for your generosity and consideration.
