When I was a kid I dreamed of ballets and choreography before I'd even witnessed a performance or attended a dance class. It seemed that I was born a dancer. There has never been anything in this life that deterred me from my dreams for very long. I have always been very focused and determined to dance and to create in the dance field. At some point dance becomes a way of life for your health and happiness. It becomes an expression of all that you are and all that you can become. Most of our great dance stars have confessed to similar drive beginning at a very young age and sustaining them throughout their lifetime. It seems that once the dance bug has got ya, you are hooked for life.

A life of dance is one filled with music and energy. Who can cry when the beat is up and the step is funky? Dance is a powerful tool of communication. A good performer causes his audience to feel. He takes his audience through a whole a ray of emotions from sadness to exhilaration. A life in which you cause so much is one of self-confidence and pride.

Dance is a discipline. It requires many daily hours and often many years to become truly proficient. There is a standard and a technique which done correctly gives the dancer more tools of expression and even more ability to cause a response in his audience. As a result of such hard work, students gain a work ethic and self discipline not commonly achieved by regular education alone. Each level of technical expertise comes with its own rewards. As with any skill, it can be very exciting as you see your self improving and getting closer to the ideal. Learning a new step is fun and finally being able to perform that trick and showing it off is very rewarding.

For these reasons and more, I became a specialist in dance education. Not everyone was born with choreography in his head like I was. Not everyone can be as dedicated or as committed to a single subject that demands such grueling physical strength or stress on the body. But I have also learned that it is human nature to rock and sway to the beat of a good tune. As long as man has been upon the earth he has also had two hands to clap together and two feet to stomp. Even the most reluctant eventually break into a smile while dancing. The freedom of the movement and the creating of time and space are why the young and old love to dance.
