Question and answer
Q. Describe the most common types of jobs you do for your clients.
A. Apart from classes and private lessons in all types of socal dancing, we also offer individually tailored wedding preparation packages to help couples feel comfortable dancing to their wedding song.
Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?
A. DancEncounters is dedicated to bringing high-quality, affordable social dance opportunities to Rochester. No contracts, no long-term commitments, no partner needed, no pressure. Just good fun with nice people.
Q. What do you like most about your job?
A. I love to dance, and the opportunity to share that love with others is always a delight. Also, I throw a mean party!. But what really makes this job the best is the people who come to DancEncounters. They are all such nice, generous people, and it's a delight to work with them.
Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A. People who have never danced often call me and say "I have 2 left feet, can you help me?" Well, everyone I've ever met has a right and a left foot, and they can all learn to dance, at least well enough to enjoy themselves in a social setting.
Q. What do you wish customers knew about you or your profession?
A. Just like any other profession there are good teachers and bad teachers. Good teachers have some form of dance education and/or certification. They also have a track record. Ask around and get recommendations.
Q. How did you decide to get in your line of work?
A. I have been dancing all my life, starting with Ballet, and teaching dance since I was 16, so it was a natural extension of that to open my own dance studio
Q. Do you do any sort of continuing education to stay up on the latest developments in your field?
A. As a teacher it is important to keep up on the latest developments in dance. Going to national events, taking workshops, and watching performances and competitions are some of the ways dance teachers keep their skills current.
