Teacher Crystal

Favorite Ballet Storytime Story

Swan Lake

Favorite Ballet Step

I love teaching all of the ballet basics but if I had to choose my go-to step it would be Passé.

Do you have a go-to animal for inspiration during Animal Dances?

My go-to animal for inspiration is a cat. They are elegant and so fun to imitate. I have two cats of my own for lots of inspiration.

Favorite Thing About Teaching at Tutu School

Tutu School is special to me because I get to be a part of a magical, supportive, and positive community of teachers, students and families. The relationships I have built within the community at Tutu School over the years brings me so much joy!
