I acknowledge an enormous debt of gratitude to my
dance and music instructors, in classes and workshops.
I have had the honor of private lessons with individuals marked with a star (*).
Many of the dance figures listed are well-known national and international champions.
Also listed are some of the Regional Dance Congresses I have attended.
I have a Masters Degree in Music Education, and use many of those principles
in developing my styles of dance instruction and methods that suit the student at hand.
