 Brazilian born, Magali has dance in her blood. While in Brazil she had a chance to work for many years as a volunteer with children and teenagers in need, coordinating and directing them on dance performances and musical plays. The opportunity to bring her two passions together, teaching and dancing, led her to enroll herself at the Teacher Training Program at Roca Blanca Dance Studio. She says “there is nothing better than seeing a smile when one learns how to dance the first steps”. Magali has been enrolled in dancing her whole life and is very happy to share her experience with her students. |
