Explain in your own words the meaning of VTS. Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) is a student-centered teaching method that improves critical thinking skills and helps enhance community-building through discussing visual images. It helps transform the way students think and learn. I feel like VTS makes the student go deeper into the discussion and really think about the Whys.

Teaching Philosophy Statement

Ballet is not just a form of dance but a helpful way to learn in life. There are so many benefits of ballet not just the physical parts but learning the language, the organization, how to comprehend movements, and learn in different ways.

It does not matter if you are a dancer or have experience, but I feel that ballet can help everyone. I want to create a place that is safe for everyone to be able to share and participate in the movement and grow. Each class will help engage and challenge the children through using movement, written activities, and videos. I want the children to be able to learn new terms and movements in ballet. By having a safe environment, I want the children to develop a new interest in ballet or in learning more about dance.
