"Currently I am an Adjunct professor teaching Beginners through Advanced students in credit bearing Ballet courses at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). I have taught at RIT for 10 years to students who have always wanted to learn Ballet, or have been trained and are now on a different paths of study, who still love Ballet and still want to dance. I have taught all ages and levels. I also individually coach students who are interested in pursuing musical theater and find they need ballet. My personal experience includes all facets including performance, choreography, and administration.
I've been blessed with great training, including intensive courses with Master Teachers who were personal coaches to luminaries such as Baryshnikov, and others at ABT. These amazing studies taught me how to help students to successfully build their technique and I work to pass it forward. Working with private students of high school age who suddenly find they need Ballet for musical theater has taught me to find ways to help them more effectively reach their goals in the limited time and availability they have. I have a heartfelt passion for teaching Ballet. I enjoy have a great rapport with the student while working one on one. I understand everyone is unique and learns in their own unique ways. I understand the challenges of being a beginner and encourage the student's input. It is a joy to help students discover, learn and enjoy Ballet.
I have the 3 past years working online with students, learning to speak, read and communicate effectively in English, working on reading, grammar, and vocabulary. Their ages range from 7/8 to high school, from beginner to advanced/fluent. I am able to build great rapport with my students and help them achieve their goals with patience, persistence and enthusiasm. I have Tesol certification.
