Julie is very excited to dance and create with the elementary children of The New School Montessori. Students will learn the fundamentals of movement by mastering choreography with clarity, energy and precision. They’ll learn the value of excellence in dance and the importance of discipline, effort, focus and teamwork. These tools will be implemented to allow students to express themselves and deepen their connections to each other and our community.
