Personal Statement

Personal Statement

PERSONAL STATEMENT: BLACK LIVES MATTER.

 

I love teaching dance. I love helping a young dancer find and develop their artistry, to explore their beliefs through movement, and to develop their communicative and expressive skills through specificity and vulnerability.
