About Attitude
I started Attitude Dance Project with posting video tutorials of technical skills on social media.
I make dance education accessible for people who want to learn in a way that makes sense.
Using progressions and exercises, I simplify seemingly complicated steps so every dancer understands not just what to do, but how and why.
Not every studio teaches technique. Not every teacher can break down a move to its foundation. That’s where Attitude comes in.

Jazz
Tap
Lyrical
Ballet is not the foundation of all dance.
Jazz, tap, and lyrical are all American styles rooted in West African dance and culture, influenced by Ballet and Broadway over decades.
These are the styles I specialize in and what I teach at Attitude.
Jazz teaches power, precision, and movement quality.
Tap teaches musicality, articulation, and pattern recognition.
Lyrical teaches expression, texture, and story-telling.

Our Beliefs
-
With Attitude, our students are expected to mess up. We want to teach them that messing up is part of learning.
This is a very prominent thing, especially in the dance industry. It’s very damaging to our dancers' mental health.
Dance should be fun, challenging in all the best ways, and a learning experience. We do better when we connect to ourselves and others.
-
Dance is a team sport. Dancers, choreographers, teachers, families…we’re all working together.
We want our dancers to recognize the strengths in their teammates as well as themselves.
We see the value in every student and we want them to be here.
-
“Win at all costs” mentality is poor sportsmanship and hurts the team as a whole.
Healthy competition is about doing your best, being a good teammate, seeing the strengths in others, and congratulating the competition when they win.

The Workshop by Attitude is based in a physical studio space.
It is the place where online courses are filmed, for private lessons, sessions and workshops for all ages.
Full Out Dance Laboratories are hosted in community spaces for “micro”, “mini”, and “macro” dance conventions.
These conventions are great convention alternatives for local studios and dance teams.
