I was so very fortunate to take Andrea’s C-I Training level one certification course. After teaching in a variety of disciplines for 25 years, Andrea’s clear and inspiring approach changed not only the what of my teaching practice, but also the how. I found her to be very knowledgeable and inspiring as a teacher/leader. In particular, her knowledge of anatomy and safe yet effective dance practice was a highlight for me. She presents her courses as she does herself, with authenticity. I came away feeling confident and ready to share the knowledge she imparted to us."
