Contemporary & Ballet Private Classes
About
I see dance in everything I do and in everything is surrounding me. Dance is my strength to go through life difficulties and it starts from my heartbeat, from the wind and the rain and nobody can’t deny it.
I am passionate about teaching to young and adult individuals. I love to see their growth and improvement in technique, self-esteem, and artistry after each class. When teaching I am personable and I care about the feeling and the mood of the dancer on that day by using that specific characteristic to improve their artistry and unicity as dancers.
