My Project

My students grades 9-12, look at dance and music as therapy. They step on stage and there is not a dry eye in the audience. They love to perform. It is such an amazing experience and such a privilege to be able to be their dance and gym director. My students love coming to class for rehearsal and to learn new choreography. They look at dance as a way to forget about everything and be able to express themselves freely. They show so much emotion and dedication in my class and always put a smile on their face. I proudly teach students that are special needs as well as students in wheelchairs with limited mobility. I want to give them everything I possibly can to make them happy and proud and most importantly to have them dance in a safe environment that is why dance floors are imperative to have in my classroom for all my students.
