“While her experience provides her with a unique ability to give real-world knowledge to her students, her words and encouragement set her apart from other master teachers. Ms. Bermeo is able to command respect and attention from any group simply because of her positive nature and true professionalism. What I admire most is that Ms. Bermeo dances alongside the children and is never boastful but dances full out amongst the group in order to quietly inspire and motivate the best out of the dancers. And in turn, they are truly in awe at her abilities. Throughout the class, she takes the time to compliment the dancers but also provide constructive criticism, all while building a comfortable atmosphere. I can honestly say that I learned a great deal while watching her work with my students and the lessons she provided in that time are long-lasting amongst my dancers. It was not only a master class for the students
but it was for me, as an educator, as well.

“Jennifer Mariela Bermeo is an incredibly talented teacher that excels at teaching strong technique while nurturing the whole dancer. She was with our dancers for a mere ninety minutes and in that time was able to push their technique, inspire their movement and challenge them to commit to working hard but it wasn’t just about dance… she motivated our dancers to find their own inner dance voice, to dream, to grow their confidence through her encouragement and most importantly to feel special and unique. I highly recommend this beautiful passionate dancer, teacher, choreographer and cannot wait to get her back into our school.
