Bio: Dance is an art, but it's also an adventure—one that should be enjoyable, uplifting, and brimming with discovery. For me, dance embodies this philosophy, and teaching dance isn't just about steps; it's about crafting moments of joy, movement, and growth. Over my teaching journey, I've found immense fulfillment in helping people learn exciting and graceful dance steps while ensuring they have an absolute blast during the process. Navigating the intricacies of dance might seem challenging, but I firmly believe that every move can be learned and appreciated when approached with the right blend of patience, guidance, and enthusiasm. My teaching style embraces this ethos—whether it's those intricate and challenging moves or the simpler, delightful steps, every moment is an opportunity to learn and enjoy. Patience is my virtue; I am dedicated to repeating and refining moves until you master them. Creating an environment where students revel in the learning process is paramount to me.
