Toddler Movement & Yoga Reel

A look back at a year teaching some of my classes at Nardi Dance Studios in 2016. We laugh, we work hard, we have fun, but most importantly - we dance.

Your passion and love for dance is something that can't be taught, but you have helped us all grow into the dancers and people we are today.  Thanks for always smiling and just being yourself!"
