About
I've been a teacher for almost 20 years and am credentialed in Dance and Phys Ed. I love jazz, hip hop, tap, salsa and have some experience with swing. I can pretty much pick up any style fairly quickly since I've been dancing and teaching for many years.
I love giving people the gift of dance , seeing their face light up when they learn something new and working through a challenge.
