I believe in teaching the proper dance technique from the beginning, whether your dream is to become a professional dancer or simply just want to dance for the fun of it. I believe in correcting not criticizing my students from the beginning so no bad habits are formed but I'm also a strong believer in learning while having fun, so my goal is to have each class taught in a fun and educational manner. I have taught many young and mature dancers, many styles and they now have become very successful. They have danced and choreographed for Prince, Britney Spears, Paula Abdul, Seal, Christina Aguilera, Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, Hubard Street Dance Company, & and have Choreographed on "So You Think You Can Dance" as well as participated in the Alvin Ailey dance school. I am bringing many styles, as well as voice and drama into my dance school so every one can find something they love. For those who are serious about becoming a professional entertainer I want to give my students the opportunity to study all forms of dance as well as acting and voice, "The more styles one learns the more well rounded they become". The classes are made to be approachable for every one who loves to dance, even the person who has only dreamed of dancing but has never given it a try!
