Sunny will take the beginner, step by step through the why’s and how’s of specific dance technique as well as taking the advanced dancer through the same techniques to remind them that everything has a reason and a purpose. Her classes focus on doing it right not speeding through the learning process. She believes that this method will increase correct alignment, correct conditioning, and make the best dancer out of each of her students and stop bad habits before they start, as well as prevent injury.
Sunny is thorough and tough. Pushing you to your best potential and getting 100% out of you in every class.
Dancers aren’t dancing if they don’t have passion. This is another place she puts focus. Bringing out the emotion and the passion and teaching you to express it in every movement.

Every class will be unique to what the client’s needs are. Focus will go towards the goal of each student, the style or styles they want to improve in, and the individual needs found throughout our sessions together. If you come in wanting to work on flexibility and then through training we find that you need work on your leg strength for reaching a higher extension I will adjust and add to help with what you need.
All classes will start with a thorough warm up focusing on correct alignment for safety and optimal stretching and muscle work. The warm up will reflect the style of dance requested. For instance a Jazz focused class will have a center floor warm up and a ballet focused class will have a warm up at the barre.
Fallowing the warm up we will do exercises, and combinations in the center floor, working on the specifics that each individual client is looking for. For example, balance, extension, turn out, or just technique in general.
Across the floor will vary. Across the floor is to further technical work as well as to help with those who need work on remembering combinations and doing them on both sides.
If your focus is learning choreography then a big part of class will be learning a routine. Let me know what style! If you have music you would like a routine to let me know! In order to help with learning choreography quickly generally there will be a different routine every week. But, this to can be adjusted.

My stretch & conditioning classes.
If you are looking solely to work on your flexibility and strengthening the muscles needed to be a dancer I also have sessions that focus on just that! No routines. This is a workout class only! Working on making you a stronger dancer!!
