Hi,
I am 29 years old. I started dancing at 4, got involved in Gymanstics, so I stopped dancing. When I was about 8, my mom told me that I could keep doing gymantics, if I also danced. Apparently, she knew dance was for me. She says that when I was a toddler, I would stand in fromt of the radio and wiggle to teh beat of any music that came on. I used to stare at it with amazement.
In 7th grade, I saw a David Bowie concert, and decided that I was going to stage things. I dropped down to one day a week of Gymanstics and added lots of ballet. I started Jazz at 15 and Tap at 19. Teaching has always been what I love to do. Couple this with my love for art.....I got into choreography.
I travelled all over the place, and kept thinking that I needed just a little more education before opening my own studio.... and then one day, I just felt ready. I spent a year saving and planning and a little over a year ago, I started my school. I have over 130 students, and two dance companies that I can choreograph for.
I have never been so in love with my life as I am right now!

I just wanted to make a note to Shimmy Bridget.... I don't think it was anyones intention to make you feel stupid. They were just informing you. If I see something on this sight that I think is misinformed, I PM the person; maybe that is what they should have done..... but I don't think they meant for you to feel stupid. This sight should be a safe zone, where people should feel comfortable to learn, to be wrong about things, and to correct people. I would want someone to correct me.
