 Objective: To
enhance the lives of people in my sphere of influence through dance and the
fine arts by presenting informative workshops that empower teachers to
better meet the needs of their students.
It has been my privilege to present workshops, and to participate on
state and national committees since 1995. My work is based on my belief that
art is a vital component in public education providing needed opportunities
for social, emotional and cultural development.
Workshops Topics: Hispanic Cultural
Dance-Traditional and Popular; Latin Fusion,
Implementation of the TEKS in dance, Integration of
the fine arts into the curriculum, Cultural awareness, Community Building, Character
development, Inclusion, Assessment, Technology, and Working with
disadvantaged children-Removing the Mask of Giftedness, 1995-present. More

that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and
sweatshops." Stephen Jay Gould
