Your breakdowns are so great. You bring up so many subtle points to consider that I forget as an advanced dancer. It is so important to always go back to the basics and thinking through the specifics of a move. Also, it always feels like you are having a conversation with the viewer. I really like that. You are awesome!

Oh my goodness, Theresa, thank you! This means the world to me. I am a HUGE proponent of always reviewing and honing the basics. I feel that is what sets great dancers apart from the rest! Thank you for dancing with me!
