One thing you want your dancers to know? One thing - that is really hard to narrow down.  Don’t give up or quit because something is hard. If it was easy, everyone would do it. If the move/step seems hard, it is because your teacher knows you are capable of getting it.

Why do you love to dance? There is a quote that talks about dance being a way to express your thoughts. Sometimes it is easier to dance how you feel than talk about it.

Outside interests? Reading suspense, traveling to warm places

Favorite dance quote? “Any kind of dancing is better than no dancing at all.” -Lynda Barr

“I’m going to tap until I can’t - I’ll be so old, all I can do is walk out from the wings to center stage. But I’ll be there.” - Gregory Hines
