From my current dance bio:Suzànne is a classically trained master teacher, gifted with the ability to impart her extensive knowledge of the technique and artistry of classical ballet to her students. Her vision reaches beyond the technical and into mentorship utilizing a holistic approach in teaching to create dynamic individuals as well as dancers. The persistent technical clarity of her classes matched with her approachability have made Suzànne a much-sought after teacher in the Bay Area. In addition to owning her own studios - Del Mar Academie, Huntington Conservatory, and Monterey Bay Academy of Dance - over the last 30 years, Suzànne has been the Artistic Director of several studios along the central California coast, created community education programs, founded two performing companies, and created & worked with many youth outreach programs.
