Currently she is majoring in psychology at MSU and plans to get her masters in Adolescence and Child Psychology and is looking into Dance Movement Therapy as another of her main focuses. This is her second year to teach at Dancing Feet Academy.
“Dancing was a part of my life for 15 years. When I graduated high school I thought I would never dance again, and then I found Dancing Feet Academy. It is such a blessing to teach the talent Christ gave me to others and even more of a blessing to see the happiness on their faces when they get to perform. Dancing Feet Academy has been so great for me and I love being a part of such a wonderful organization and faculty.”
“Eyes Upon A Dance Teacher”
There are little eyes upon you
And they’re watching night and day.
There are little ears that quickly
Take in every word you say.
There are little hands all eager
To do anything you do
And a little girl who’s dreaming
Of the day she’ll be like you.
You’re the little girl’s idol,
You’re the wisest of the wise.
In her little mind about you
No suspicions ever rise.
She believes in you devoutly,
Holds all you say and do
She will say and do in your way
When she’s all grown up like you.
There’s a wide-eyed little girl
Who believes you’re always right
And her eyes are always opened,
And she watches day and night.
You are setting an example
Every day in all you do,
For the little girl who’s watching
To grow up to be like you.”
