I dance to explore who I am and to connect with community, to get out of my head and into my body, to express my emotions through the magic of movement. I have been dancing for over 50 years: ballet and ballroom lessons as a child, belly dance and African dance classes as an adult, social dancing and part of an international folk dance group for years. Some of my fondest memories are watching my father and mother float across the dance floor. They are both gone now. When I dance, I see my father’s eyes; I feel my relatives around me. After over 30 years of mathematics teaching I decided to get into a different kind of classroom by turning my dance hobby into my profession. Nia technique gives me the opportunity to age gracefully and to meet incredible dancers who explore the possibilities with me.
