HEY DIVA, WHERE IS YOUR POST! haha, I would like to know about you! oooh I love this idea! My name is Joy, I am 19 (almost 20!!!) and I teach at a recreational type studio, which is actually very large. I just love my studio, I have been dancing there since I was 3, and I was an assisstant teacher from ages 13 - 17 and I have been teaching there for 2 years now! I go to a small private school where I am majoring in Accounting, and I am lucky enough that another college in town has a great dance program, and I am able to have cross-enrollment and take dance classes there! I teach ballet, tap, jazz this year (level 1, semi-beginner level), but last year I taught intermediate level ballet, jazz, tap, and modern and the past 2 summers I have taught a combo class (5 year old, ballet, tap, tumbling). I love teaching everything!!!! My first dance teacher was my studio owner. I remember dancing to the song "Momma said" and "Castle on a cloud" for my first 2 years there, and I just loved it! My studio owner is like a 2nd mother for me, she is the sweetest lady and she is now 52 years old and she still dances in our openers and finales and she sometimes dances with other adult classes for recital, and she still teaches 18 classes a week! She is such an inspiration to everyone, and she really considers everyone of her students like family, I just cannot say enough about this lady! Anyhow, enough is enough, I just love hearing about everyone, this was a great idea!!!
