About
Michelle Dunn, Dance Director
Philosophy of Dance Education
Why I became a dance teacher
I believe that I have been given the special talent of dance to share with others. I not only teach basic dance skills, I teach students to unlock their creativity and potential.
Fun Facts:
I have a Siamese cat named Sake and a Pitbull named Abby.
My husband, Chris, is also a teacher. He is currently in the Adapted PE Department.
I have been teaching at Centennial for 14 years.
I am crafty and enjoy creating and making things.
I am one of the few people who actually really enjoy working out. I will do almost any kind of workout but I really enjoy yoga, pilates, HIIT, and dancing.
