Anthony Patterson Dance Lessons
About
I specialize in ballet and contemporary styles. My class takes on a holistic approach and is catered to ensure every student in the room can walk away with some level of improvement. I cater to every students needs and make it my goal to never tear down their self esteem. I make it very clear to the students that although I will make sure that they get everything they need; they still have to hold themselves accountable for the speed of their growth.
The greatest satisfaction I get from teaching dance is getting to see my dancers reach their full potential. Seeing the overjoyed look on their faces when they are finally able to do something they have been struggling with in class is all the thanks I need.
