Introducing Joplin!!

There have been many dance parents to walk through the door of CREATE, however, when this one walked in and we had our first conversation, I knew... she would be perfect as an instructor, mentor, and most importantly an incredible addition to our CREATE family.  She took the time to answer some of my favorite questions to ask, so read below and meet the amazing JOPLIN! 

Q: Dance is _______? (& go...)
A: Dance is the ultimate way to express yourself! It provides an avenue to release, let go, and let your energy flow - no matter what you are feeling inside. Happy, sad, angry, silly - whatever the emotion - dance allows for a freedom of expression that is truly second to none.
