ABOUT MY WORK  

As a teacher, it is especially important to me to impart knowledge to the students and give them an opportunity to learn professional dance skills through dancing. Other important aspects are the individual physical and artistic-creative attributes which everyone can improve. 

My aim is not only to train wonderful dancers but rather also to foster creative personalities who can independently overcome difficulties and obstacles and enjoy dancing.
