To enhance every child’s full potential to become their own artists.  Her end goal is to have each child be confident, treat their fellow teammates with respect and to push them to be proud of who they are and what life means to them.  To never give up, as life will throw you many curve balls, you will always have your dance education to fall back on.   Not every child is born to be a star – however giving your best is all that is asked and this education cannot be taken from you.Though her nick name may be MINI, she stands tall in the dance world and her love for the art of dance does not fall short of anything but mighty. She looks forward to this new season full of fresh new faces and sharing her dance creativity with all of you!  May God Bless you with this new experience….
