Teaching Philosophy

Teaching dance is my way of contributing to a more connected, creative and compassionate world. Dance allows individuals to explore their identity, build resilience, and connect with their peers on shared and unique experiences. As an educator it would be my priority to guide students on this journey, helping them grow not only their technique but their personal mindset as well.

Motivation in my classes begins with creating a safe, inclusive environment where students feel empowered to take risks. I always celebrate effort over perfection, which shows my students that I value their progress and dedication. I strive to create an inclusive studio where every student feels seen and valued. My goal for students is not only to master technical skills, but also to develop critical thinking, creativity, and confidence that extends beyond the studio. I aim to equip them with the skills to navigate their artistic journey, whether it ends after 3 dance class or takes them into a full professional career.
