“I believe each and every experience in our lives prepares us for the next. Research shows that each student learns a different way. With every teaching opportunity I have been able to gain more understanding about my students, and how they learn. While I believe learning can be hard work, my goal is to teach them each in the best possible way. I believe with perseverance, every student can excel in dance.” ~Bonnie
