If there is one thing I know? Its dance.
I have been teaching dance for 20 years (with breaks in between having kids)
From teaching little kids as "Ms Sparkles" to teaching youth as "Step2Me" or teenagers as "Pandasticthedancer"

Whatever my nickname has been, one thing has remained....my love for teaching hip hop/ballet and jazz dance.

As a fitness instructor I fuse dance into everything I do. The truth is, dance saved my life more than once. Not just spiritually and emotionally, but physically too.

Dance is my church, my therapist, and my best friend. It has always been there for me when I needed to express strong emotions in a creative, non-threatening way.

Over the years I have become obsessed with research on dance and disability. How dance can literally improve academic performance for school age children and youth, as well as help adults with neurological disorders and brain injuries.

Dancing is medicine for the entire body. Please join my free class at Westworth Church in River Heights-Wpg every Monday 230pm-330pm. It is inclusive to adults 55+ or adults 18+ who may find zumba gold, zumba and line dancing to fast or hard to keep up with. This program is generously donated by a grant.

Please share this post! Help bring the healing joy of dance to someone you know!
