"Being a dance teacher for me is not just about teaching a dancer steps, it is more than that - it’s about reaching inside their soul, finding that one thing that makes them unique.  It's to carry over my passion for dancing to all my students so that they can also experience the great joy it brings to my heart.  It is about creating an environment where a dancer can just be free, where they can express themselves and escape from reality for a moment. Together we create a hidden language that everyone can understand - I LET THEM BE!"
