• Dont walk dance  

    Hello Pumas!

    Welcome to dance class with Mrs. Sadler. Dance is a class that not only requires hard work, but also trust, energy, compassion and creativity. I believe my job is to teach the fundamentals of different dance genres, but I also want you to gain an appreciation, if not passion for dance. A positive classroom atmosphere is vital and I expect you to help promote the encouraging mojo. I lead by example all day, every day and if I can do it a bazillion times then you can certainly do it for one class period. Laziness is for vegging out on the couch, not my class. So expect to be pushed to strive for excellence.

     

    Listed below are some random tidbits about myself. Over the course of the year(s) I look forward to learning more about you!
