✨ Get to Know Our Instructor: Cynthia! ✨
Cynthia brings so much care and dedication to her teaching at Hills Latin Dancing. She loves helping students feel comfortable, have fun and build their confidence.
We asked her a few extra questions so you can get to know her a little better…
💃 What’s one thing your students might be surprised to learn about you?
“I’m an introvert. I’m naturally very shy, especially at socials. So I know what it feels like to stand there hoping someone will dance with you. But when I teach, I turn up for my students to make it as fun and comfortable as possible, and I push outside my comfort zone to go to socials, often on my own. That’s the way you grow, shine and find joy.”
❤️ What do you love most about teaching at Hills Latin Dancing?
“The community family feel, seeing students having fun and improving as it all clicks into place.”
✨ One piece of dance advice you’d give Beginners?
“Stick with it and find the joy. You need to be comfortable with being a little uncomfortable, feeling a little awkward, and making mistakes. That’s how it becomes natural and then you learn more to stretch yourself. So embrace and enjoy the learning journey.”
We love having Cynthia as part of the Hills Latin Dancing team, and her own experience is such a great reminder that confidence doesn’t always come before you step onto the dance floor. Sometimes it’s something you build by continuing to show up, challenge yourself and find the joy along the way.
Be sure to say hello to Cynthia next time you see her in class or at one of our socials! 💃🕺
