The Chronicles of My Summer: Teaching

I was very lucky to land a job teaching at my studio this summer. Unfortunately, only one student signed up out of the thirty spots available. I was disappointed at first, because one of the classes was cancelled, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise!

I ended up teaching a private lesson once a week for an hour. Rose*, the girl that I teach, is 7 years old and claims to have never danced before. She is absolutely amazing, and I cannot believe that this is her first time dancing! In our first hour-long lesson, I got all the way to time steps in tap with her, and if you're a dancer, you know that that usually isn't covered until you've been dancing for a few years.

Not only is she an amazing dancer, but she has the most amazing love for dance that I have ever seen. She has her ballet book, and tells me everything that she practices at home. That's what is truly inspiring to me.

Rose* is going to go far in the dance world, because with her God-given talents combined with her passion for dance, she is unstoppable. And I am so thankful to have gotten to work with her.
