Teacher DiOria
Favorite Ballet Storytime Story
I'm not sure if I can pick. There are plenty of great stories and lessons that one can learn from our curriculum.
Favorite Ballet Step
Arabesques! Teaching and performing them makes me feel like one of the characters in our storybook.
Do you have a go-to animal for inspiration during Animal Dances?
Giraffes, of course! Giraffes are my favorite land animal. They remind me to hold my head up, stay grounded, and go at a pace that suits me.
Favorite Thing About Teaching at Tutu School
The Tutu School introduces children to Ballet and fosters their imagination. A child's imagination is the epitome of humanity. I enjoy watching my students become more confident in their dancing abilities and in themselves. I also embrace being whimsical, which heals and keeps my inner child alive.
