We are posting a brief day by day meditation from Forward Movement. It's a great way to start your morning! Just click on the website icon above.
She started teaching dance classes in Glantz Hall earlier this year. Originally from Melbourne, Australia, Miranda started to dance ballet in first grade at an after school program like the one she teaches. However, she quit soon after she realized that dancing ballet required her hair to be pulled tight into a bun. The dancing was fun but the hair pulling was not! It wasnʻt until 7th grade that she started to dance again, and this time she was hooked. She danced all kinds of dance through high school, and once she graduated she started teaching full time. She has been at it for 21 years!
Miranda's favorite style to dance and teach is hip hop because itʻs a “fun happy dance.” It is a great style for kids, who love being able to make up dances and join in the fun. She does have adult classes, which she describes as a chance to reconnect with self..
She says, “If you want a workout that isnʻt about going to the gym, and you respond to music, an adult dance class might be the right thing for you!”
Outside of teaching, Miranda loves to travel, both locally in the islands and home to Australia. She also loves to play games like Sequence, Scrabble, cards, and authentic relating games. Walking is also a favorite; she loves to explore her neighborhood and notes that everyone else who is out walking is so friendly, and always saying hi to one another.
If you see Miranda on campus, say Hi!, and check out her dance class schedule for kids and adults at:
