I've hosted numerous workshops of different dance styles over the years. If you know me, you know the hardest aspect of teaching dance is choosing the song. There are so many options to choose from that I struggle to pick between them. Over the years, I have learned some tips to help me fi...
Growing up, I used to be in awe of how well a story or theme can be portrayed using dance. How does the audience understand what you're saying without one word being said? I grew up with Bharatanatyam so all of the dances were telling stories of Hindu Gods. In college, I was on a collegiat...
