When people think of dancing they think of it as an exercise, a way to relieve stress, and just a fun activity to do. People also love the cultural aspect of dancing as well, but do you know of anyone who is as passionate about every aspect of dancing as Ms.White is? She is someone who teaches dancing and loves and the cultural side of it. I wanted to know how she is motivated to do what she does everyday and what makes her so happy to want to give all of her energy into teaching the wonderful activity we call dancing.

Ms. White gave me a lot of wonderful answers that I would love to share with you. Her favorite thing about teaching dance is everything, however, she really loves teaching the educational side of it. Ms. White also has a wonderful role-model named Scott Putman who’s an undergraduate dance professor. She is really looking forward to seeing their choreography they create.

I Feel Better When I Am Dancing...

What motivates her is that she really loves watching her students grow. She says that everything is hard when learning a dance and she tries to show that when you are rehearsing a dance it's just as hard as if you were to study for a core subject class. Performing is a challenge and many of them have mixed emotions about it.

In the end, dancing can be tough and it can take a lot of preparation, but when you have the passion for it and appreciate it as much as Ms. White does, nothing can stop you at being great at it.
