We have a dance club that has over 100 students and parents that participate every Wednesday morning before school. My students have learned many dances and really just love to dance. Our team has performed at basketball halftime shows, carnivals, senior citizens and many other areas. The students have been able to use their skills at many events outside of school.

What challenges did you face and how did you overcome them?

I have started eating more healthy myself and have lost 15 pounds. I can encourage my students so much more when I'm trying to eat healthy.
