I think it is of paramount importance for each dancer to examine their reasons for dancing and what they expect to get out of it. I feel it is my job as an instructor not only to guide my students through the movements of the dance, but also to help them discover their own inner beauty and to foster self acceptance.
I have studied with many people too numerous to name. However, some of my favorite and most inspirational instructors include: Shoshanna, John Compton, Artemis and Jajouka. As an instructor, I am constantly taking classes and workshops with other instructors. I encourage my students to take classes from other people to help them grow and develop their own dance style.
