Miss Reina is an experienced teacher who always encourages her students and finds ways to ensure that her students enjoyed her classes every time. I have been in her class since late 2010 and I find that, off all the classes I am in currently, I enjoy her classes the most.
While attending her weekend classes, I find that Miss Reina is very attentive to what her students' strength and weaknesses are. Whenever her students perform well in a particular exercise, she would praise them individually and encourage them to do better the next time. When a student does an exercise routine in the wrong way, she would gently correct her and remind her constantly not to repeat the same mistake again. She would make sure that we leave her classes with a clear understanding of what she has taught us. She would even teach them exercises to improve their turnouts of core muscles. Because of the extra exercises that she has taught us, I have improved tremendously in my flexibility and strength.
I find Miss Reina to be very patient and encouraging. Because of her constant encouragement, I am now a trainee teacher with RAD. Without her encouragement, I think I would still be feeling lost. I would not have known where I should go or do to further my advancement towards my dream of becoming a professional ballet teacher. Without her encouragement and help, I would not have been able to start to come out on my own to become a ballet teacher. I definitely owe my huge improvement and great advancement towards my personal goal to become a ballet teacher to her.
