Lorie is a fireball of dance energy. Her shimmies, pops and locks are amazing. She is a great instructor, and her tips on dance posture have actually helped improve my overall posture. Lorie is warm and welcoming of all students, of whatever skill level, and makes us feel like we can do anything. (Particularly zills!) Her faith in my abilities as a dancer, as well as her flexibility around my schedule have helped me to learn and grow as a dancer. Lorie is a generous soul, offering us helpful exercises and stretches from her yoga knowledge and experience, and affording even the newest of us opportunities to practice beyond the beginner class and to perform. My favorite memory of Lorie so far is when she came around at the end of dance class while we were in final relaxation pose and anointed our necks with temple oil, giving us each a mini neck message. All I can say is, thank you, Lorie. You've touched my life in a positive way. Looking forward to continued learning and growing with you...
