| Introduction | My initial training began with my parents in ballroom and social dance at age 6. I began classes in jazz and modern dance in 1979 while competing in disco competitions from 1978-81, winning my first competition at age 16. I am a certified ballroom instructor with a deep knowledge of dance and how bodies move. I studied as a theater/dance minor at Eastern New Mexico University. My classes included ballet, jazz, modern, break dancing, choreography, social and ballroom dance as well as getting Pilates training beginning in 1983. In addition to teaching social dances, I teach creative dance and early ballet for preschoolers. I also teach various dance forms to fit the needs of classroom teachers K-12. Currently, I am developing a class for new parents and their babies and a dance/fitness class. |
