Why I (Jessica) am a part of My Time To Shine:

Some people give me a crazy look when I tell them I co-own a music and dance program for people 3 years and up.

"Why would you do that?" "Are you crazy?" "I don't know how you handle that many kids!" 

"It's so cheap how do you make any money?" 

These are comments I have gotten and here are my answers:

Have you ever felt like you were designed to do something? I was designed to share my energy through teaching. I can't explain what happens to me but when I teach I transform into a better version of myself because of the amazing people I teach.

I am a part of My Time to Shine because I am passionate about providing opportunities for people to embrace and experience the power of good, uplifting and engaging music through song and movement. Music with lyrics that carry a message can change an individual, it can encourage, enlighten and allow a person to radiate and as a teacher I get to see that happen!

Yes, I am a little crazy or a lot crazy, depending on who you ask! I have a ton of energy and being around kids just fuels that energy within my body. I have an ability and desire to help others generate energy, work hard and bring something to life. 

Kids can get out of hand if there is not any form of proper classroom management. Even though My Time To Shine is focused on teaching music and dance through a fun environment we enforce rules of respect so that our classes can thrive and really have F.U.N. 

Our prices are really inexpensive for one reason: we want to make music and dance accessible to everyone. Our primary goal is in creating an experience where kids or all ages (and adults) are inspired by music and dance in ways that build and fortify their confidence and character. 

I simply cannot wait to meet and become fast friends with this years My Time To Shine members! The last two years I have gained so much from interacting with such awesome, loving, thriving and engaging individuals. 

We are doing an ADULT Class!

Isn't it funny how we enroll our kids in all sorts of extra curricular activities, encourage them to grow and develop talents and try new things and yet we (the adults) forget to give ourselves the same advice. Here at My Time To Shine we are not only passionate about teaching and inspiring kids through music and dance we believe adults need it just as much and can reap so many benefits from engaging in musical theater. 

We know well that one of the reasons why many adults stop engaging in such beneficial activities is money! Classes are expensive! We get it. Because of our desire to reach adults who long to move, to sing and work on performances again we are offering our Sparks class for a discounted price $40. You heard us $40. That is killer cheap and we will have child care provided for minimal extra dollars. Now there are no excuses for you not to treat yourself and be a part of My Time To Shine!
