Tell us about yourself:
Semi-retired dance and fitness professional. Because of the virus, not teaching at the moment. I like to read, cook, garden and write. Two years ago I had a children's book on healthy eating, THE VILLAGE OF ENSALADA, published. I had my own dance school and three children's dance companies. I sub at various dance schools, am a consultant and still do private choreography.
Area of knowledge and what I know well:
I am a Master teacher of aquatic, which means I train others to teach. I also have taught land fitness, drama, music, dance and pre-school.

I totally get it.   Used to teach piano as well as dance.  Have thought of offering adult lessons.  I should check out your books.  Thanks for mentioning them. Working with others and sharing our love of the arts is so rewarding isn't it?
