Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
When working with a new student, first I send over a few qustions to the student to help determinate their goals and overall what is she/he want obtain from working with me. That helps me create a class program that is "tailor-made" to the student's needs, to ensure we achieve their objectives.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been professionaly training for the past 26 years in dance leading styles such as: Ballete, Jazz, Contemporery, Flamenco, Hip-Hop and Salsa. I specialize in Hip-Hop and have been amongst the first to train in the prestigious Debbie Reynolds Scholarship Program for professional dancers in Los angeles, CA.

Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I love teaching all my students, but most in particular I love my Little Sonics, ages 6-8, when I have them work on their "Flow". The "Flow" is when I give my students some stractual instructions, in which they find their own way to move and express themselves. I love this work with this specific age group because they are free from self-judgment and let their bodies dance freely, thus discovering new ways of moving, connecting with their own body and expressing it.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Aim to find a teacher who's experienced in what you are looking to learn and achieve. Express your goals and needs to them and ask how they aim to help you achieve and accommodate them.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
1. What you, the student, want to get out of this experience. That doesn't have to be limited to just the physical. Feel free to specify: Emotional goals, mental goals, physical, etc. The more you understand WHY you want this, the more focused and fruitful the experience will be.
2. In how long would you, the student, idealy like to achieve your aim?
3. What is your availabilty and budget?
