Our Early Childhood Teachers

  • Emily Streit

    Toddler and Me, Creative Movement, Pre Ballet

    “Being a teacher means so much to me. Looking back, I see the love and joy that my teachers gave to me throughout my training. I don't take teaching lightly- I learned so many life skills from dance and want to pass those on to my students as well. Each student is an opportunity for me to learn and grow as a teacher, I love to see them make connections and ask questions!”

  • Emily Davis

    Creative Movement, Pre Ballet, Little Dancer Hip Hop

    “My favorite thing about teaching is sneaking in the kale. This means adding in elements of dance technique, proprioception, body control, and style/dynamics into activities that are enjoyable and fun for our dancers. Sometimes they may not even know what the deeply rooted intentions are of some of the things we do because they are having so much fun!”

  • Janan Mirza

    Pre Ballet, Fairytale Ballet

    “To be a teacher one must hold great communication skills and be continuously kind in order to make all your students feel welcomed and seen. Having this role means there is an importance to inspire as your students are looking up to you.”

  • Mercy Matthews

    Creative Movement, Pre Ballet

    “Honestly makes my heart so happy to see something that sparked my joy for dance be what makes other little kids light up too. My goal as a teacher is always to just make sure that they all see their own potential, but most importantly enjoy doing something that a lot of other kids around the world don’t get the opportunity to.”

  • Molly Brown

  • Jennifer Keane

    Toddler and Me, Pre Ballet, Creative Movement

    “My favorite thing about teaching is the moment we share when something finally clicks or makes sense to the student.”

  • Virginia Spinks

    Pre Ballet, Creative Movement

    “Teaching means always meeting students where they are at — doing my best to address the ways in which each person learns differently and enjoys different kinds of movement practices. I love when my students have *click* moments where you can watch the information align in their eyes and their bodies!”

  • Sara Sharples

    Toddler and Me, Pre Ballet, Creative Movement

    “My favorite thing about teaching is seeing my students get excited about performing and showing how hard they have been working!”
