Louises classes are very energetic and high energy. You will leave class sweaty and with a smile on your face.
When Louise teaches, she wants to share her love and passion for dance. Louise wants to see her students improve beyond her level of dance, all while teaching them correct techniques, and foundations and understanding the culture and history of the style.
I love all of the styles i practice! I couldn’t choose just one!
What sets Louise apart is her knowlege of the style and culture at a time where Hip Hop is not practice very often, therefore, not as available. Louise can also be commercial if she feels her students would benefit more from that.
Because of Louise’s experience as a dance teacher, she knows how to break down the movement as well as movement pathways. She encourages her students to work with dynamics and most importantly, to feel the music. All of which will help Louises students grow as dancers an performers.
Biggie Smalls without a doubt, will get me moving!
I once was a very successful telemarketer LOL!
