Ms. Dario has also taught several classes for Peridance in NYC and was a guest teacher at New York University.

The class is built with the basic fundamentals of technique to help give the dancers power and strength that will prepare them for the demands of the given choreography . The movement consists of different elements in finding the harmony of music and technique combined. Most importantly, it should be fun and should offer the opportunity for dancers to show their own individual artistry with the movement!
