The Power of Dance Fitness in the Community

Tell us a little bit about yourself?

 

I have been teaching dance fitness for 8 years.  I spend most of my time teaching dance classes.  It became clear to me that I wasn't going to be a rocket because I started dance late.  I mourned that when I was younger.  A friend kept asking me to join her for a dance class and I finally did it and fell in love with dance again.  

 

My mother used to tell me, “This passion that you have is not an accident.” Dance came into my life in a way I never thought it could.  It fills my soul and builds a sense of community. 

 

I was a late dancer. Started in high school. I fell in love with dance even though I didn't know what I was doing.

 

What does group dance do for the community?  I think it builds community in a unique way.  It brings people from different backgrounds, ages and income levels.  Community shouldn't be about bringing people together just because they look alike.
