Teaching and Dancing - Both require choreography and creativity!

After 30 years of being involved with dances from around the world, I have realized that they are truly a reflection of life.  Each dance has a story that relates to some aspect of culture, health and education.  My dissertation research confirmed that dance touches the whole person - socially, intellectually, physically, spiritually.

We learn best through activities, and meaningful stories.  Therefore, my goal is generate the resources to provide more enriching educational opportunities through the power of dance.  

In my marketplace are some of my presentations and documents that I have created for presentations at State & National Conferences.  I invite you to take a few moments to view my pages.  The world is dancing!

Empower your teaching, your learning and embrace change.

Make the world a nicer place - one step at a time.

Please start your journey with my recently updated Personality Quiz titled, "What's Your Dance".  You'll find it at www.DrWendyGuess.com

My biggest pet peave is that we just put on music way too loud and expect everyone to entertain...
