What inspired me to teach?

I started taking dance classes from a young age and always enjoyed being involved with dance. My mom is an elementary school music teacher, and she also taught Zumba classes for several years. I would sometimes attend classes with her and stand at the front to help lead the participants! I have also done a lot of babysitting and enjoy working with young children.

Why do I teach?

I get to do something I enjoy while also helping and inspiring the next generation to be active through movement and dance.

What do I teach?

I teach Kids Hip Hip and Ballet/Jazz classes.
