Comment:
Do the assignments and you'll be fine. She comes off as intimidating and may not smile a lot but she's actually really nice. I took a lot of classes with her for the dance minor. You just have to be polite and do the work.

Comment:
I love Susan as a person! But if you're an experienced dancer, it's SOO boring. In Modern 1, we basically only made shapes with our bodies, improvised, and walked across the floor. And about favorites, if you just show up with a positive attitude, she'll love you. I'd def recommend her to non-dancers! But not for dancers who want a challenge.

This woman is a WONDERFUL dance teacher! She's really cool and doesn't even have to try. She focuses a lot on abstract dance and shapes in Modern 1, and it's really fun. I recommend this class to anyone, whether you have dance experience or not...you'll have a great time!

Took her for ballet two. Hated the class. It was very obvious she played favorites. She was nice, but will take forever to answer any emails.

Comment:
For the actual dance classes, all you have to do is make sure you show up and participate and go see a dance performance and you are guarenteed an A. Classes are fun and very relaxed. As for the academic classes, they are slightly boring but are still fun and are full of laughs because of her sense of humor

Comment:
Good classes for beginners, but previous dancers will find awful. Most of modern we "made shapes" with our bodies instead of dancing. Ballet seemed better, but she still doesn't have a fabulous technique nor a great style in my opinion.

Susan is a great teacher. She knows dance, loves dance, and has the energy to make you want to dance and learn. She's very easy going and if you have a problem with making it to a class she'll be willing to work with you. The requirements for class are simple and it's worth the credit. You'll really get a workout and have fun doing it.

Comment:
Susan is an extremely nice lady who has a very interesting sense of humor. I definitely recommend taking dance production--unless you absolutely loathe the artform of modern dance!
