Teacher Giana
Favorite Ballet Storytime Story
My favorite ballet story to teach is Sleeping Beauty! I love dancing as fairies, sleepy princesses, and brave princes—and twirling and stretching like roses in the garden!
Favorite Ballet Step
My favorite ballet steps are gallops and grand jetés! Gallops are always fun to do with a partner, and grand jetés are exciting to practice as dancers grow stronger and more confident.
Do you have a go-to animal for inspiration during Animal Dances?
My favorite “animal” to explore in class is the butterfly! We can practice soft butterfly arms, rise up onto demi-pointe, do little sautés, and use our imaginations to flutter away to magical places together.
Favorite Thing About Teaching at Tutu School
I love that as a tutu school teacher, I get to help create a magical, joyful introduction to ballet for both my little dancers and their grown-ups. It makes me so happy to watch my dancers spark a love for ballet as they use their imaginations to dance creatively while also discovering timeless ballet stories! Every day I come into tutu school, the community, the environment, and the joy of ballet brighten my day.
