What Students Say

“No matter how I feel, this class always makes me feel wonderful.”

"I think what sets her teaching apart has to do with her deep knowledge of dance as an art form, how the body actually works, and her remarkable and uncommon ability to convey that knowledge to all of her students with both respect and kindness, whatever their level of experience and ability, whatever their particular challenges."

"Her classes are inspiring, uplifting and I feel great during the experience and after."

"I've had many dance teachers in my life but it is not until Dorothy that I feel that I have not only a good technique teacher, but a lovely person. One who is passionate both about the art and about the students."” "Dancing in Dorothy's classes makes the rest of my life more complete and purposeful. . . . she brings out the best in me!"”

 “We are a group . . . who come together as often as possible to feel the joy of moving for ourselves and in community; and to learn the discipline and delight of dance from a true master.”

“Because this is a skill based class, there is a learning curve that requires commitment. Once the kinesthetic connections are made, the class is a superb isometric, isotonic, and aerobic workout as well as a glorious celebration of beauty, grace, fluidity, strength, coordination and vitality.”

“So much fun! . . . she is such a great teacher. Dorothy makes everyone feel that their growth is important. She is unbelievably creative with her choreography and choice of music. It is truly a wonderful experience to learn from her.”

“I like the balance in every class. There is some repetition to further refine movement but also plenty of variation and new material.”  

 "Dorothy has an amazing amount of experience and talent and uses music in a way that brings life to her well-choreographed and interesting routines. Most importantly, Dorothy brings an abundance of passion for her art, and compassion for her students. It’s obvious that the hours spent in class are precious to the students and that the teacher is as well.”
