But I'm getting ahead of myself. In case we haven't met in person yet, here are some fast facts about me...
Who: Jenny King
What: The new dance and theatre specialist at GFAA
When: This is my second year teaching. Last year I taught dance at Fannin, Kennedy, and Reagan Middle Schools.
Where: I'm originally from Waco and graduated in May of 2010 with a B.F.A. in Theatre Performance and a Minor in Dance from Baylor University. Sic 'em!
Why: I started dance classes when I was three and discovered our local children's theatre in fourth grade. Growing up immersed in the arts taught me so many important lessons- self-discipline, patience, teamwork, self-worth, endurance, the list goes on and on. The arts made me a better and smarter person and I am absolutely thrilled to get to "pay it forward" to the next generation.
So why the blog, you ask? It's another way for us all to stay connected as teachers, students, and parents. I'll post descriptions, photos, and videos of what we're doing in class as well as out-of-class performances.
Let me say this one more time- I'm so excited!
