Teaching Philosophy
I believe that the essential soul of partner social dancing is the ability to lead and follow well. I specialize in social dancing, in helping you learn how to have fun, creative and safe dances with everybody you dance with.
​
Are you looking for a way to make your dancing even more fun and exciting? Private lessons are a warm and friendly way to accelerate your learning with tailored material that applies especially to YOU.
You will come out of our lessons feeling motivated and positive about your dancing, with specific information that you can start using right away. Whether we work together for just an hour or on a more consistent basis, I'm eager to help your dancing be more enjoyable for you and for all your dance partners.
What's your best learning style? To maximize learning, some students prefer the quiet focus of my full attention; others like to share a lesson with a friend or regular dance partner. Some students like to move quickly through new material; others like to process concepts extensively before moving on. Together, we will focus your learning and help your dancing grow in just the right way for you.
My ideal student is one who may enjoy the occasional informal competition, but really seeks a balanced dance life that includes social dancing with partners on a wide range of levels. If your focus is on competition, I'm happy to recommend a teacher who is more aligned with those goals.
A good match between teacher and student is essential to your best learning.
