Teaching Philosophy

 

As an educator, I’m a firm believer in creating a holistic environment for my dancers, one which ensures they receive the technical foundation required for them to succeed in any career. To remain true to that promise, I concentrate on dance medicine to provide a safe space for my dancers to perform. This methodology promotes physical and mental wellness and prevents injury. Each year I attend conferences to remain current with the latest technology and teaching pedagogy to ensure student success. It is my intent that my background will guide the students to set their own goals, accept their strengths and weaknesses, develop their awareness of musicality, and have a solid foundation of anatomy to properly assess their bodies. The more comfortable a student feels with their facility, the easier it is for them to articulate how their body is functioning, engage themselves in creative settings, and give them the confidence to perform on and off stage. Whether my students choose to pursue a career in dance or some other avenue, the goal is for them to develop into smart, thoughtful, independent, and creative individuals.
