Frequently Asked Questions

Q. I seem to have a problem getting the videos to play back properly. What should I do?

A. We have recently moved all of our free videos over to a new streaming video provider and no one should have problems, however  if you do make sure you have a good strong internet connection. Otherwise they should all play without a hitch.

Q. How do you recommend I use the online videos.

A. More then anything we want to create more then just instruction filled DVDS. We want dancers to have a learning system where the on line are used in conjunction with DVDS. DVDS for practice and on line videos to study. You get to use your brain and your body.  We also use the on line videos as a way for students to "Try Before They Buy" a DVD. 

Q. Tell Me More About Your Combinations

A. My combinations are designed to balance out right to left hips. Both hips must be equal even if you favor one over the other.

Q. What else can you tell us about your movements?

A. I am a firm believer in opposition movements. This means that the combinations on your right hip do not have to be repeated on your left. My combinations will help each hip become independent of each other. This develops mastery of fast, complicated combinations that are based on sharp and soft movements.

A. Technique is also very important but a dancer “must” understand her body and where the movements come from. My combinations will help intermediate to advanced students understand what their technique is all about.
