Nadia Dance & Choreography
About
If you are thinking about learning how to dance and or use dance as a way to stay healthy, I can help you. I am a MFA Dance Graduate from Texas Woman's University. I also currently teach dance for secondary learners. Being able to share my passion for dance and to be able to see someone’s face light up with joy and wonder when they finally get a step right is an extremely gratifying moment for me as an educator.
Dance can be a way of releasing negativity and instilling positive attitude and emotions in your life. Dance as a way of expression of your innermost feelings and letting go of your inhibitions especially for adults. Dance can also improve your physical activity levels meaning better stamina and better health, too. It is never too late to dance!
