What's My Why?
As a dance educator, I aim to achieve a series of personal goals where teaching a variety of high-quality dance techniques and educational classes is at the top. As a result, holistic teaching has become my main and preferred teaching style. I always teach using positive reinforcement because it is not only my teaching preference and suits my character, but because, through it, I am able to stimulate passionate self-motivation and discipline from students and create an atmosphere where they feel comfortable taking risks, making mistakes and asking questions. I also strive to be dynamic with my instructions and class material to help ensure all students are mentally present and fully engaged throughout an entire class.
