The most important thing to me, when working with children, is to help them realize that they are special in every way. No matter what their talent may be, every child can be great; every child can dance; and most certainly, every child can perform. It is up to me, as a teacher, to tap into their uniqueness and bring it forth. Building self-esteem and creating confidence is what's most important, not how many turns you can do or how high you can kick.
When I'm asked to speak at a Quinsinetta or light a candle at a Cotillion, when I'm invited to a 5th Birthday Party, or when I'm shown an essay done about me; that's when I realize how important my job is and how important I am to my kids.
 "Ballet"From the Italian Balletto, diminutive of ballo, "dance." Classical theatrical dancing based on the danse d'ecole, the rules and vocabulary that were codified around 1700 in France. |
 "Tap"A style of dancing developed in North America, involving quick tapping of the toes and heels on the floor. |
 "Hip Hop"A popular subculture, originally created by inner-city teenagers but now prevalent in the suburbs, that emphasizes rap music, break dancing, and DJ scratching. |
 "Jazz"A mixture of African and European folk dances developed in North America/New Orleans around the early 1900s. |
 "Lyrical"Lyrical dance is a blend of ballet, modern, and jazz dance styles. It is interpretive in nature and lends itself to liturgical dance. Lyrical dance is poetry in motion and usually consists of slow, rounded movements. |
 "Fitness"Fitness can be defined as a holistic feeling or state of well-being. Physical fitness consists of many different body capabilities, such as endurance, strength, flexibility and coordination. |
