Why learn to dance with me?
The short āresumeā answer:
Iāve been a Professional Ballroom & Latin (et al) dance teacher for 35 years, turning āproā after 8 years as a titled amateur dance competitor. I was a resident teacher at some of New York Cityās top dance studios and have taught, competed, performed and choreographed Ballroom/Latin/Tango/Swing and all the social dances for beginners through competitive dancers. Since 1997, Iāve taught thousands of kamaāaina on Maui, as well as visitors to our beautiful island (from London to Tokyo to Ukraine to South Africa)! With heartfelt gratitude and accolades to the dance participants of Maui, together we broke the World Record for the largest ballroom dance class in the world (2007)!
ANDā¦
I believe that learning to dance through my teaching method is much more about youwaking up your inner dancer; your body knows that you can dance, now to convince your mind of that (35 years of teaching people just like you has given me that wisdom)!
Part of my mission is to inspire positive changes in peopleās lives through partnership dance. I have dedicated my life to the art of self-expression and self-awareness through dancing and other creative practices. I truly love teaching dance while working with people of all ages and walks of life to help them realize new things about themselves while building confidence on the dance floor.
Iād be honored to guide you on your dance journey ā¦every step of the way!
Did You Knowā¦It only takes a limited number of hours to learn the basic of any given dance, and that the rest of the dance journey is filled with pure joy? Itās your childlike curiosity and open-minded attitude as a student which will help you reach your ideal and confident competency (or mastery)! So, letās dance!
My secret is⦠keeping my teaching as simple as it needs to be. I sincerely want to know whyyou want to learn to dance because everyone learns in a different way, at a different pace and by a different style of learning. My way of teaching is personalized and focuses on your dance goals and needs. I touch on all aspects of dance and Iām always adapting to your needs as a student. I generously give of all the dance skills I have to help you excel and reach your dance goals quickly, so that, in a short amount of time, you can be on the dance floor with authentic self-confidence.
I strive to provide a fun and relaxing atmosphere and my goal is that you are not only able to dance popular sequences, but that you are able to express yourself ānaturallyā through dance, creating your own combinations and enjoying the dance without āthinkingā about trying to dance! Dance is a state of being, not intellectualizing! I’ll help your body learn to dance with ease, speed, and enthusiasm to create an connection of trust with your partner(s) and enjoy yourself on the dance floor!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS, Aloha &Happy Dancing!
