Amara B.

I have been teaching beginners to professionals for years. I have taught contemporary/ modern, jazz and lyrical technique, and hip hop classes around the U.S. and internationally including London, Rome, Mexico, and Australia. I have set competitive pieces for groups and solo dancers. I typically will work with 14- 25 + but I enjoy teaching all ages as long as they have good work ethic.
