My teaching method is base on class structure and flexibility. I always go base off the level of the student but i do enjoy challenging ones capabilities. I like to use interesting and fun music for inspiration in class for the students.
i am a dance major from Holland College and freelance emerging artists. I have performed in numerous hotels in The Bahamas and Festivals in Charlottetown, PEI. My dance company is called "Oshun Dance Studios" and one of my main goals is to bring my Caribbean culture and style to PEI, influencing movement through drums, swing of your hips and including the technicality .
class rate can differ if you would like class to be extended by 30 mins.
rates can differ if you would like a specific private lesson that can refer to class such as; composition work, artist consultation etc.
