Brooke Friendly is an energetic, community oriented teacher with strong programming skills whose specialties include dance choreography, teaching with global/positional language, and teaching dance in K-12 schools, university and community settings. She has been on staff at dance and music camps and events throughout North America, England, and Australia.
"Brooke brings an unusual number of strong qualities to her country
dance teaching. These include: her passion for dancing; her strong sense
of the dance, choreography, movement style and phrasing (she is a beautiful
dancer); her friendly (she is well-named) yet commanding personality;
her ability to convey directions concisely and clearly; and her creativity
and her sense of humor and whimsy. To add to that, she has a strong sense
of what makes for a good community, a crucial quality for country dance
leaders. She makes the learning experience fun and relaxing."
