Why I love dancing

Ever since I was little, I wanted to dance. I absolutely loved moving my body to music and posing in front of the mirror for hours. The passion I had for dance was clear to my mom and she sent me for dancing lessons when I was 5 years old, and that is where my dancing career began. I enjoyed the fact that you get to feel music and interpret it with your bodies movements rather than just listening and hearing it. I loved the way dancing made me feel, it taught me to express myself in ways unimaginable, expression through dancing was truly self-healing for me.

How did dance help/change your life 

When I was a young girl, I used to be incredibly shy and insecure. I loved dancing so much so, however it felt as if my insecurities were holding me back from my truest potential. At the time I was competing, I never placed in any of the competitions I took part in, as I could not fully express myself on the dance floor. One year, and I remember the moment in my life distinctly so, I decided I am going to just stop comparing myself to other dancers and just remember why I started dance in the first place, and that was, for the love of dance. Let me tell you something, that moment changed my life, I became unstoppable and started to really feature as a top dancer within my circles. Letting go helped me to free myself of many of my insecurities in my personal life and helped me to embrace the woman that I am today.

What are your hopes for your students that attend your classes

• I want all my students to have fun while getting fit.
• I want everyone to know that we can all strut our stuff in our own beautiful way. Everyone should find their inner sassy fox.
• I want to share my knowledge of dance with my own students, as my instructors did with me, the value of a good instructor is priceless, and I choose to teach so that I can help others grow.
