My thoughts on teaching dance
Dance is a unique creative experience linking music and the movement of the body. Teaching dance is itself creative and interactive. I hope to give students a clear sense of how they move through space, and an outward focus. Ballet involves much more than the technical movements of the body. I try to teach dance for the whole person.

With regard to the class work, I emphasise connections between steps, how the weight is transferred,and proper anatomical alignment. Musicality is also important to me. I look for clarity of movement and emphasise movements which lengthen the muscles. For me, constructive criticism and encouragement of students are imperative.
