Teacher Petra
Favorite Ballet Storytime Story
My favorite ballet story from the curriculum is The Nutcracker.
Favorite Ballet Step
My go-to step that I love to teach and perform is 'high-fifth arms' or our ballet bubble arms.
Do you have a go-to animal for inspiration during Animal Dances?
My go-to animal for inspiration during animal dances is a monkey because of the way they swing from the branches, this action comes up a lot in ballet moves.
Favorite Thing About Teaching at Tutu School
Tutu School is special to me because each class engages with the activities in its own unique way, making every dancer’s experience personal and meaningful, and that’s what makes teaching so fulfilling for me.
