Welcome to Dance Class
My name is Ms. Cruz. I am a dance teacher at the WNY Middle School. Through our curriculum I will teach your child a variety of dances to hopefully ignite a passion and/or appreciation for the art form. The NJ Standards also cover topics such as nutrition, injury prevention, and mental health. I try to make my course beginner friendly and also challenge students who may be more advanced through prior training.
