Classes/Workshops | Private Lessons
Calendar View | March | April
| May
My approach is based on teaching principles rather than "moves", with an eye on natural body movement, correct alignment, and a development of self-awareness. Students in my class are encouraged to explore, inquire and develop problem-solving skills on the dance-floor. I'm always on hand to provide honest feedback and guidance.
If you are interested in private lessons or semi-private lessons for
you and a group of freinds, something can be always be arranged via email.
