Teaching a Dance Class
FADP, From a Dancer's Pointe, reached out to me to teach a dance class... so that's exactly what I did. I incorporated cheer techniques with some modern and sassy moves to the song Worship by Lizzo. This was my first time meeting the studio and all of the dancer who were of all ages and dance skill levels. These girls were incredible and my goal for this dance class was not only to teach them technique, but to also teach them about self confidence and achieving their dreams. We first stretched with a little conditioning, did drills, across the floor, I taught them a dance, and we did a Q & A at the end followed by photos with every student and their families. They picked up the choreography so quickly but don't judge the leaps from this video... they have amazing calypsos and leaps we were just too close to the mirror and couldn't do them full out!
I have been dancing my whole life and am trained to dance latin/hispanic forms of dance like salsa, merengue, bachata, tambores and many more. I'm also trained to dance lyrical, open, jazz, pom, hip hop and was a professional NFL cheerleader for 3 years! Some people don't know this but I used to also take belly dancing classes with my mom!
