Arista Yvette Pyne All-Cat. Dance Lessons
About
My passion for dance comes from a background of technique from a ballet academy combined with African Contemporary and competitive dance. I have lived through the struggles of a professional dancer therefore support and prepare my students for the professional world. Although focusing in the professional aspect my classes express the importance of finding an individual style.
Dance has always been an outlet of artistic expression. Many young students do not understand the importance of the movement therefore do not appreciate dance until they are no longer involved in it. I believe dance is one the most thereputic outlets. Teaching young students how to appreciate the art in balance with competition and technique is what I enjoy about being a dance teacher.
