Favorite Ballet Storytime Story
Cinderella! It’s such a classic story that’s so full of magical moments. I love acting out the different scenes with my dancers. From scrubbing the floors, to twirling into our ballgowns, we have so much fun dancing in Cinderella!
Favorite Ballet Step
I love teaching leaps! Seeing ballerinas perform leaps on stage can be so magical. The way they float through the air always took my breath away as a child. I think it’s so cool watching kids learn to leap from one leg to the other.
Do you have a go-to animal for inspiration during Animal Dances?
I love woodland creature dancing. It’s so cute seeing little chipmunks, foxes, and deer prancing around the studio!
Favorite Thing About Teaching at Tutu School
Tutu School is special to me because it really brings the magic out in ballet. It’s so sweet watching dancers learn steps, and structure all while giggling the whole time. It’s something so special for both children and parents.
