I am truly of the mentality that an arts education can change a life. Dance belongs in everyones' lives!
My desire is not to become a teacher that turns out 1,000 cookie-cutter principal ballerinas. I'm interested
in shaping people. Experiencing a dance education doesn't mean that a person has to dance for a living. Dance
instills a discipline, passion and love that will follow a person into whatever career they end up pursuing
and I believe that it's essential to expose as many people as possible to this necesssary entity of life.
That's where I come in.
My goal is to use this area of the Neo site as a teaching tool to communicate between parents and students.
I will provide insight to my lesson plans and additional resources to anyone continuing their dance education
outside of the studio.
dance library
If you are a student at Ballet New England, UNH Department of Theatre and Dance or a member of
the Neoteric Dance Collaborative I would be happy to lend you dance-related books or videos from
my private collection. Below is a list of titles that are in my collection, and if they are available.
If a book or video is out, I will post the name of the person who has taken it out. Please remember
that this collection is very precious to me: If these items are damaged or destroyed in your care,
I expect you to replace them out of courtesy. Take care of them!
10/22/2006: I am in the process of updating my catalog. More title should be appearing here soon!
01/10/2007: Catalog is updated and complete. I'll add more titles as I aquire them - enjoy!
