My passion for teaching comes from showing students what they CAN achieve. For me, teaching dance acts as a vessel for educating confidence, self discipline, and social connections in a fun and exciting way. I find it so rewarding to know that learning these skills will be useful in all aspects of life.

Becoming a dance teacher has been so rewarding, watching the pure joy dance brings to students. I feel so grateful to be able to pass on my passion for dance to the younger generation of dancers.

Ciara-Peaches McDermott
I wouldn’t be where I am today without all the lessons that dance has given me, and to have the opportunity to share that with my students is the most fulfilling experience. Dance to me has always meant having the opportunity to express yourself and forget everything else in that moment, and I feel so lucky to be able to share that with my students.

Lauren Oman
Being a dance teacher is so rewarding, even though it can be full of challenges for both student and teacher the amount of joy, passion and growth throughout is incredible and inspires me everyday.
