Class description 
My classes here at Tanzwerk are all about creating a positive and welcoming environment where you can thrive as a dancer. My goal is to help you reach the level you dream of while feeling amazing every step of the way. In my classes, it is not just about perfecting your technique (although we will definitely work on that too!). It is about finding joy in every plié, every tendu, every pirouette. Dance is not just about the steps; it is about how they make you feel. I am here to support you every step of the way. Whether you are a beginner just starting out or a seasoned dancer looking to refine your skills, I am here to help you grow and succeed. And let me tell you, there is nothing quite like the feeling of accomplishment you will have when you leave class with a smile on your face.
