What other students/teachers are saying about Dawn :
*..Thank you again for being part of my Feb. 2004
Teacher Training Course. It was wonderful to get to get to know
you a bit more during these 3 days. I wish I had more time to
talk to you individually. I can only hope that this course helped
fill in some spaces that might have been missing in your teaching
presentations. If you were living up here, I would surely ask
you to teach at my studio ! - Serena / NYC - Serena
Studios
*...........and I have to say that you are one of
the greatest dancers and instructors I have ever took. There are
good dancers out there, but the ones that can master in teaching
are very rare. - Michelle / Boca Raton
Host a Workshop in your area : Veil, Zils, Sword, Choreography
