Discuss your goals for dance classes. What are you hoping to learn, experience or accomplish? What kind of experience do you have, and what previous skills can we build on? Do you have any physical challenges that might make certain movements more difficult? Once goals for lessons are established and agreed upon, we would make a mutual plan to move foward with lessons.
All ages: preschool (2) to senior citizens (70+). I have a certification as a special education teacher which allows me to work well with special needs students. I have taught dance and adaptive PE classes for special needs dancers in the public schools, and I also currently teach for a behavioral health program that only services students with emotional disturbances. Many of my students have been placed somewhere on the autism spectrum, from high-functioning to non-verbal. I love working with all students!
Ask a lot of questions and read any reviews you can find online. Other people will always give you the most honest feedback. Make sure payment expectations and agreements are clear upfront. Check to ensure the teacher has an adequate professional training to make sure they are competent to educate students in the history, language, background, and vocabulary of each dance genre they instruct. Watch videos of their choreography and check for both good artistry and quality technicality.
My 4-6th grade acro class learned a new stunt in class on Wednesday night and they were SO excited! Just beaming and jumping up and down to "try it again." I love seeing the sense of wonder and accomplishment that comes when a dancer finally masters a dance step they had not previously been able to execute. Those lightbulb moments of learning are priceless.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Why are you interested in dance? How long have you been wanting to try this kind of a class?
What are your goals for your dance classes - what are you hoping to learn or accomplish?
How much time would you like to devote to meeting these goals each week? Is this a long-term or short-term goal?
Do you think the teacher you are considering can help you meet those goals in healthy, happy and educational way?

My daughter and I both had the opportunity to be instructed in the field f ballet by Terah. Her ability to instill a strong technique focused program built a wonderful foundation for my daughter. Her choreography was challenging, unique and infused with creativity and musicality. Her heart demonstrated kindness and a spirit of encouragement. Terah inspired and encouraged me to become a teacher as well, having danced in my youth but never thinking I would rejoin. For this encouragement I am so thankful. We remember our dancing years with Terah as a blessing
