Welcome back everyone! I am very excited to begin my second year at DEC. The DEC family was so welcoming last year and I look forward to meeting more new faces as the year continues. I structure my classroom to be a fun but challenging environment. I strive to build a community with the students in my classes. By creating a community I hope students find an understanding, encouraging, and respectful atmosphere. The community aspect also helps each student feel they have the ability to be themselves. My favorite part of teaching dance is motivating each student to discover his/her personal, unique expression. I am also a music enthusiast and always on the search for new songs and artists to share with my classes. I can¹t wait to watch the classes¹ progress from now until showcase! I am inspired each day by all of the students’ hard work, dedication, and love for dance at DEC.
