KITIERA's TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

Students learn dance "from the inside out." Focusing on anatomy and muscle specifics allows the dancer to gain control and dexterity, in addition to keeping the student safe. Attention is always on alignment and quality of movement. Kitiera helps students explore and push past their limits in a loving and safe atmosphere. Classes stress intensity and quality of movement. Proper warm-up and cool downs are given with every class. Dancers learn to love the process and the practice of dance art, not just the performance.
