REVIEWS!!!
My impact as an educator and choreographer goes beyond just teaching. I've created a transformative and supportive environment, where students feel challenged, inspired, and connected on a deeper level. My classes are described as incorporating techniques from various genres, fostering encouragement, warmth, patience, and providing valuable critiques.
The personal growth, emotional exploration, and sense of escape that participants experience highlight my ability to make a profound impact on their lives. My sincerity, honesty, and genuine care for students shine through, make my contributions more impactful. Overall, I'm shaping and influencing individuals in meaningful ways.

"While she was teaching me I learned lots of information, but the most important things I learned was that how to speak out loud and how to speak more fluently. Not only that, she even made me to be more confidence about presenting. Also she was different from teachers who runs their classes just to make us smarter. She was teacher who really care about student and made us develop our social skills. The things I loved about her class is countless but during her class I was having so much fun and I am so thankful to have a teacher like Dionna" - Jenny Kim (elementary student - South Korea '23)
"Taking your classes have been so challenging and new for me I absolutely love them! I love all that you have to offer and definitely plan on making your class
a regular one!" "THANKS FOR EVERYTHING, you've made me realize a lot about my self as a person and you helped tap more into my emotion ...you've been a blessing and being around you is so joyful and full life and fun I wish I could have been around more because every time I took your class it was different every time and I learned something new about myself"
"had an incredible time, the choreo, the atmosphere, the energy... Just everything was great :)"
"If you're in Chicago and you don't take advantage of this woman you are lost In life! Get your ass to class and explore! Nothing compares to the feeling this
class brings! Inspiring on so many different levels" Vertical Divider

"I put more value in what you have done for people than some big name artist who’s too caught up in the celebrity of it all to REEEEAAALLLLY ‘touch’ someone.
YOU have made a bigger impact . . . " "Instead of just choreo your dance exudes techniques from all types of genres, jazz, hip hop, house etc. When you teach you're encouraging, friendly,
warm, patient and you give out critiques! I don't get that from any other classes that I have taken . . . I really do wish there were more teachers like you." "I think the one thing that resonated in me was what you said about trying new things; "Don't shut out". Just because something isn't my style or I'm not that comfortable doing it, doesn't mean I should quit, I should take it head on and fight through."
"A few months back, you asked me “why do you come to class?”… I thought a lot about this and did some soul searching to answer this. Your class gives me a
release… an escape from reality and a break from “the ordinary”. I feel like I’m in a period of my life where I'm trying to figure out who I am as a person - emotionally, professionally, and as a human being - dance helps me really FEEL and be creative… to be an artist… something I have forgotten to do the past 2 years. Your class and your heart is so sincere and honest… you have made an impact in my life and so many of those that you touch." |
