Teaching Philosophy
"If you can walk you can dance. If you can talk you can sing" (Zimbabwean proverb)
My class fosters creativity and self awareness. I encourage students to find their own physicality, potential and style. I expect students to show discipline, focus and effort during class, as these are important aspects of dance.
I hope to broaden students ideas and assumptions of what dance is i this course.
