Dance Tutor from Columbia College Chicago

Caroline S.

I have been a teacher for 5 years now; teaching dance as well as special needs and academics! I love teaching in a group setting but I am even more excited about a one on one setting because it really allows me to get to know my students and customize my teaching to a specific students needs! I feel very passionate about each of my student's progress and in a tutoring environment I can really give my students the attention they deserve.

I have taught at Special needs School Giant Steps and ABC Child Development center as well as Public School Mineral Springs and many dance studios including Vinmark and Naperville Park District. At each of these places my greatest joy has been being able to share my passion and see others building their own.

I graduated from Columbia College Chicago with a Bachelor of the Arts Degree in Dance where I was especially honored to work and train with professionals Jeff Hancock, Becca Lemme, and Gary Taylor at Winston-Salem Festival Ballet. I have production experience with Love Never Forgets at Van Dyke Performance Space and performance experience with Framework Dance Company, Vinmark, IAlign Dance Company, and Columbia College Chicago.

Outside of performance, I have also served as a dance teacher and choreographer for Naperville Park District, Elán Dance Company and Mineral Springs Elementary. My fortes and passions are modern and ballet but have experience with jazz, lyrical, hip-hop, tap, West African dance, and Bharatanatyam Indian dance!

I am excited to connect with new students eager to learn dance skills for professional pursuit, fitness or pleasure!
