Mrs. Nadiia’s Philosophy... I love working with students using a creative approach to develop their aesthetic side and promote their interest in choreography. This creative method of teaching also helps them learn the choreographic material better and faster. I use an unconventional approach to things, work enthusiasm, a friendly attitude towards my students, and the capability to understand the way of thinking of my younger students—these are things that made my reputation. I create a special classroom atmosphere so that every student can feel creativity in himself or herself. I am always looking for new forms and methods of work to make classes interesting for students.
