JAZZ & MUSICAL THEATRE www.dana-jolly.com

“As a dance and movement educator, I believe it is critical to teach students with a holistic approach, promoting strong minds, bodies, and souls. Resilience, confidence, and passion, as well as strong sound technique, are extremely important. Physical awareness and safety for longevity in the industry should also be a priority, as well as encouraging and developing freedom of expression and performance. This is what defines an artist.”
