My Students

We are a high needs school in Harlem, with many students living below the poverty line or coming from low-income families. Some live in shelters. The majority receive free school lunch based on their socio-economic status. Many are from single parent households.

We have a special program for students on the autism spectrum, who benefit from reduced class size and additional supports in the classroom.

I teach these students several times per week to provide consistency in their schedules. They tend to struggle with core strength and balance but have improved greatly in the time I have worked with them.

My students are energetic and enthusiastic dancers. They are eager to explore new ideas and dance forms.

My Project

The students in the ballet company auditioned to join the group. Currently the group consists of 10 girls and 2 boys. They are highly motivated and eager to work hard. They are learning to maintain correct ballet posture as they dance with pride in their work. The piece we are currently working on is a tango which must exude that pride, and if they had professional quality costumes for their next performance, I believe they would shine their hearts to the audience with even greater self-confidence. In addition, we are planning to audition this piece of choreography to perform in a dance festival and these costumes would make the performance even more powerful.
