With over 25 years dedicated to dance arts, I see the overall value dance offers is the ability to connect with others. Kinesthetic intelligence hones the art of perseverance with other individuals who learn to support, encourage and uplift one another. After nearly 11 years on Ballet Faculty at The Rock School for Dance Education, full Dance Scholarship from Southern Methodist University, Adjunct Faculty at Temple University and over 15 years as a professional dancer, I see the long-game benefits of the arts for healing, advocation and finding an empowering narrative unique to the individual students.
