Teaching style
In my classroom, I strive to have children find the joy in movement, but with a focus on exploring that movement in a productive way. I believe it is important to direct the students in learning new steps or movements, but I strive to balance that with more student focused approaches. I like to facilitate discussions with the students, so that they are analyzing how to do their movements with proper technique, interesting movement quality or artistic expression. I also focus on peer to peer explorations, which might include helping evaluate steps or learning to dance together.
Awards & shining teacher moments
I hold the honour of Associate of the Royal Academy of Dance. I have received scholarships and recognition from the Richmond Arts Council, British Columbia Festival of the Arts, University of Oklahoma dance department and many choreography awards from competitions.
