A Note from Xixi
Hi, I'm Xixi Cheng. Everyone calls me "Shi-Shi." I'm really looking forward to working with you and seeing you express yourself through the beauty of dance.
It is amazing to see my students get better and better each time they come to dance. Not only do they become physically fit, they also feel so much more confident as they master each step and movement that I teach them. Through dancing, you'll be able to learn a lot about your body, yourself, and the other people that you will be dancing with. It is social, interactive, and community-based.
My teaching methods provide fast, efficient, and fun learning. I love every single step in the journey of teaching, from taking a beginner couple with no dance background to seeing them become the dancers that they want to be. When you come to dance, you will be learn the correct dance technique right away. Unlike many of the large dance studios that try to keep selling their students more classes, I want you, my student, to improve as quickly as possible and master the techniques to dance beautifully.
If you have never danced before, give yourself a chance! If you are reading this right now, chances are that you are at least curious. You have nothing to lose by giving it a try and everything to gain. I hope you can join us and be a part of our dancing family!
Sincerely yours,
Xixi
