Miss Andrea is really happy to be on board starting her second year with Ballet Petite. Starting at the age of two with ballet, her military upbringing has allowed her to be exposed to many different styles and techniques. Miss Andrea graduated with her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance Performance with minors in Elementary Education and Psychology from Shenandoah University in Winchester, Virginia. Along with dance, Miss Andrea plays the clarinet! With this skill she was fortunate enough to be a performer in the Opening Ceremonies of the 2002 Olympics in Sydney, Australia.
Miss Andrea not only loves ballet, but all forms of dance. She has had the opportunity to dance the leading roles in several ballets including The Nutcracker, Swan Lake, and Cinderella, but was also honored at the National ACDFA dance conference in Ohio for a dynamic modern solo dedicated to Hurricane Katrina.
Miss Andrea's favorite part of teaching at Ballet Petite is watching her students grow. She finds it so fulfilling to meet them in a younger class when they might be having a hard time adjusting to classes and coming in without mom and watching their independence grow as they find it easier.
More fun facts about Miss Andrea:
Her favorite color is indigo. She has lived in over 20 states and her favorite place to live was California. She has one brother. She helped start a non-profit dance program for children when she lived in Florida. She loves Reeces Pieces!
Miss Andrea will be teaching this fall at various locations with Ballet Petite!
All the best, Sarah
