Question 4: What can you expect from my dance classes?
Answer: Initially, you can expect about a million questions so I can get to know what your specific needs are so I can offer the most effective training.

My goal is to help dancers enjoy improving their craft while seeing results and finding a deep appreciation for their bodies and what they are capable of.
Question 5: When & Why did you start at Five6seven8?
Answer: I started at Five6seven8 at the start of 2023, after explaining my goals and qualifications to my then-teacher, Liz, who suggested that the Five6seven8 competition team needed the training I was offering and we started the interview process. I have loved every second of working with the other instructors and most importantly the dancers at Five6seven8.
