Move. Create. Educate.
Want to know what I have been working on this week? More arts and crafts! At the Dance Teacher Summit I went to a prop seminar from Beverly Spell of Leap N’ Learn. It was such a neat idea that I thought my students would love it. And I thought you would love it too! Here’s what I did- I ordered 2 packages of foam sheets from Oriental Trading. 48 sheets in total.
Yesterday I had a 2 hour (!) interview with Dance Studio Life Magazine for a feature they are doing on Maria’s Movers and Move. Create. Educate! It was so much fun! Look for the article in the January 2011 issue that should hit the stands in December. I will for sure post it here as well! Anyone . . . → Read More: Dance Studio Life Magazine

This fall I will be teaching a class called Sing and Swing Baby at Dancewave Center in Brooklyn.

This week I am going to take a trip to the bookstore to do some research on this age group and see what is important for their development. I want the class to be fun for the grownups too, afterall it is a dance class! This picture sums it up! Fun and Fabulous! These are all of my friends that I met on Twitter. Yes, Twitter. What you put in, is what you get out , right? This is what I get out of it! The picture is all of us celebrating our meeting for the first time!
