    Jun, 2016 - Present

    Brooklyn Community Services

    As a dance instructor at P.S.156, I teach 10 dance classes per week to grades K-5th. Students participate in an hour long dance class including warm up ,across the floor material, and learning choreography. For the warm up I use the yoga practice as a tool to channel self awareness, self discipline ,positive energy, enhance muscle strength, flexibility, and range of motion in the students. Students learn a series of asanas throughout their weeks in after school. Students are able to identify asanas by name and the benefits of these asanas. I choreograph and assist students in their technical and expressive skills, and help develop their personal voice in dance. Using the tools of choreography and incorporating students improvisation, student in each grade learn an original work to perform in the programs half Winter and Spring Dance shows.
