Who are we?

Our Dance Studio was started to create a safer, more accessible dance space specifically for queer and neurodivergent folks. Allies always welcome. My name is a.b. and i am your dance teacher! I use they/them pronouns and always use gender neutral language when i teach. I make a point to ask pronouns and names at the beginning of class so that i and other students can address each other correctly. with that said, no one is required to share any information they are not comfortable with & no one is required to speak at all if they don't want to. The only rules in my class are to respect each other & focus on your own dancing. Students can dance in either role or switch lead and follow throughout their classes (which i encourage). As a teacher, i am very patient, encouraging, and do my best to adapt to many different learning styles. I am also ALWAYS open to feedback as i want to continually improve and make my classes fun, safer, and approachable.
