Teaching Philosophy: Jan Chamberlin
Dance is a natural form of expression and movement that all people possess. Within a nurturing environment I strive to give my students a strong technical background based on the fundamentals of both dance and kinesiology. Artistically, students are encouraged to use dance as a form of expression. At the end of class, I hope spirits have been lifted and bodies strengthened.
