What is JazzLatin Dance?
I danced professionally from 1979 to 2008, began to teach dance in 1982, learned Jazz while living in Paris, France in the 80's, and later enjoyed teaching Jazz in Mexico City and Oaxaca, Mexico, until approximately 2005.
After almost 2 decades of teaching only yoga, I'm so happy to be teaching dance again, and created a class that I call JazzLatin Dance, putting together basic Jazz steps, accessible to all, and Latin Dance steps, including bachata, salsa & cumbia. I like to explore music from all over the world and encourage students to enjoy movement, music, and being themselves. Everyone has so much fun!
