Client
description of the classes:
"Footwork
is clearly an important element of style to Laura". Her emphasis on this
is one of the things that sets her apart from some of her contemporaries."
"She
starts each lesson with a warm-up consisting of a number of footwork alternatives
designed to enhance the basic step."
"The
way she integrates the new footwork enhancements into a repetitive warm up
exercise is a great technique and a way to pack a lot into the hour."
"During
the core skill sessions, Laura carefully chooses exercises and patterns that
are effective at teaching the concept of lead-follow, so important to West
Coast Swing and most other dance steps.
Each new pattern is demonstrated with slower music at first, then
students are challenged with a quicker score for repetition.”
"Laura
pays close attention to and is very patient with each student, regardless of
the skill level they come in with". "If she sees that a student is
not moving through a new pattern quite as quickly as others, she will intervene
as either the leader or follower to make sure the student reaches the
breakthrough they are seeking." And she does this efficiently so as to not
hold up the class any more than necessary".
"Finally,
Laura is careful to keep the class on task, while still allowing a little fun
and mischief, but definitely completing her lesson plan and providing the value
that her students are looking for."

Ph. D.
