INTERNATIONAL DANCE ACADEMY is a sanctuary where young minds find peace and self-discovery. It’s a safe haven, encouraging them to embrace their authenticity, let emotions flow, and experience the transformative power of dance.
THIS IS WHO WE ARE, AND WHAT OUR MISSION IS ALL ABOUT!
“WHY I TEACH DANCE! I promised myself when I started teaching that I wanted every child to feel equally special, because they are all butterflies in their own unique way.
I love to learn, and my students teach me something new every day. I get to spend my career cultivating a love of dance and life in my students. To teach, you must know, so if you enjoy learning new things or researching, then giving everything you know doesn’t require a second thought. That’s why I want, why I expect each of my students to give their very best. That’s why I motivate them to achieve and discover, to reach further, because by doing so, those lessons they will carry with them always in every aspect of life.
They will learn how to be Human, how to recognize Beauty, and in turn how to be more Sensitive and Compassionate. They will learn how to have more Love; they will have more Kindness.
The best education is not given to students, it is drawn from them. It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken a joy in creative expression and knowledge. Of what value would it be to make a living, it one doesn’t know how to live and give from the heart. With this philosophy we are embarking upon our 4th decade of high calibre teaching. ” Laura Pascolo McRury
