How would you describe your teaching style?

“For my littles and elementary, everything is “presented” as fun as possible while almost every activity involves technique basics. Whether it’s our rote ballet bar, our “we are the dinosaurs” game while marching to the beat of the music, all activities have some core basic skill they are working on. Every activity we do is taught with just as much excitement and enthusiasm as it was the first time. Establishing strong routines and class expectations the first month or so really helps.”
