Dance

Hi! Ms. V here. I'm a professional dancer with a BFA in dance, and I've been teaching in studios across the NYC and New Jersey areas for 5 years, plus 4 years previously in Charleston, SC. My favorite part about teaching is watching students achieve the goals that we've set together, and the growth that happens along the way. When I teach, I love getting to know my students--what type of learning works best for them, what kind of energy they're most responsive to, and what kind of music really gets them moving! I've taught ballet, tap, jazz, contemporary/modern, contemporary improv, conditioning & stretch, and gymnastics to all levels, mostly to youth. When I'm not dancing, I love to journal, spend time outdoors, and make a homecooked meal. I'm excited to get moving with you!

And 5-6-7-8!  I've been teaching dance in various studios across NYC and New Jersey for 5 years, and for 4 years previously in Charleston, SC. My teaching philosophy is rooted in self-discovery--I'm a firm believer that technique and skill will come in tandem with self-love and confidence. I specialize in all levels across ballet, tap, jazz, contemporary, contemporary improv, and conditioning & stretch. Whether you're just starting, have been dancing for years, or are rekindling your love for dance, I'm excited to get dancing with you!

I love Veronica's approach to teaching and how she builds a growth environment for her students. I look forward to class every week!

My 7 year old daughter was beaming after her first lesson. Thank you, Miss Veronica!

We have been so impressed with Veronica!  She has taught our 9 year old so much!  She is focused and dedicated to teach and educate in ballet.

I’ve improved so much from week to week and it’s so easy and comfortable from my house!

I loveeee my first class with Veronica. She made me feel Super comfortable and we had a short get to Know and I’m so happy that I’ve met her. Excited for my next class! Thank you :)

Just love her! My daughter is quite shy and it may be difficult to teach without a lot of response but Laini LOVES Veronica and opens up a little more each time :)

She's great at explaining how things should look, helped me a lot!

She's a really patient teacher, and her explaining is easy to understand.

She was very patient and understanding. Very kind also. Would definitely recommend.

Veronica is vey nice and knowledgeable about dance. I enjoy working with her.

Miss Veronica knows her technique! She is always breaking down how each muscle functions and how it contributes to my overall placement. Thank you miss v!

Great first session. She is enthusiastic and thoughtful

Very knowledgeable and precise in her workouts..I easily followed her directions

Veronica taught me when I was younger and I just remember her class being one of favorites. She has such a fun and cool personality. I thank her for giving me advice about my first professional job since she danced with the same company. Still to this day I love to dance with her and catch up if we end up in the same audition room together.

We start each ballet class with pliés, bending our knees to prepare us for almost every step in ballet.
