I am currently a Dance teacher at La Mesa Arts Academy. This will be my second year at an amazing school that incorporates the arts into school curriculum for students in grades 4th-8th. Teaching dance has been a passion of mine since a very young age. Growing up I studied dance from the age of 10, and over the years performed with many dance companies and schools. I continue to take class today to pursue my passion and stay with current trends. I hope to continue the growth within our Dance department at La Mesa Arts Academy with the help of this grant.
