    About Dana B.

    As a very artsy person, I teach an interesting set of skills and hobbies. I teach dance in church, school, and recreational studio environments. I already have 2 private lesson students. My NY state certification in dance education for Pre-K through 12 students is in process, and I have a MA degree in this field. I was an undergraduate Spanish minor, and since then, my love for it has not waned. I practice with native speakers, and I love Latin American dance as well. Lessons in Spanish reading, writing and speaking are bound to be a blast, and cultivate the student's appreciation for the language. I have been crocheting for over 10 years now. But what I love most is creating my own patterns, for blankets, hats, scarves, and cowls. My work can be seen on Etsy as soon as winter begins to approach in NJ. (Stay tuned!) After singing for 10 years, I teach expanding range, breathing, and basic vocal training. Pop, jazz, indie genres mostly.

    I am teaching intro to dance classes in two public schools in NYC. They are elective courses that are a part of the school day. Some of my students chose dance and others must take it this year. I am teaching old school hip hop, jazz, salsa, merengue, bachata, modern and contemporary. It's a blast!
