My Favorite Quote: "Do What You Love, And Love What You Do"

My teaching style: boom baada boom catt buh da doom dadada boom boom

Why I dance (or Teach): I dance because the only other thing closer to it is breathing. I teach because I want to share this amazing gift with anyone and everyone who will listen (or watch)
