Hello all! My name is Cassie and I have been teaching in a studio setting for 6+ years, and I am going on my 4th year at DEC. I love working with students of all ages and abilities, and being able to be a part of their dance journey. I am so passionate about helping students realize their potentials, and providing the necessary tools for them to achieve their goals. I believe dance is a mode of expression through movement: moving efficiently, effectively, and purposefully. My goal for the classroom is to provide a safe atmosphere for students to do this, and explore the range of possibilities in their own movement. I also provide challenging exercises to push students beyond the limits that they believe they have, as well as repetitive phrases for the students to explore and go deeper into their bodies. All in all, I am here to help the students with anything they are struggling in, excelling in, or just need some advice or tips.
