STUDENT COMMENTS
“Lynne is such a phenomenal instructor; I learned so much with her. She actually made me realize the passion that I have for dancing and the arts in general. I love her teaching style because she moves very fast but in a way that any person regardless of their background in dance can catch on. She’s such an amazing person and I believe that if you ever need another dance class you should have her teach it....she is just awesome.” –Fundamentals of Modern Dance II
“Dance made me a more well-rounded, worldly individual. I was able to let go in dance, unlike my other classes. What I liked was that every student gained something different from that class. We all learned about ourselves. I tried my best to dance like no one was watching. I gained confidence in front of others and learned to care less and less about what other people think about me. The teacher was excellent- she made dance do-able. We are not dance-majors, and our dance backgrounds vary widely. She made it relatable to all. I liked how she compared social norms to dance too. We challenged sexism, racism and discrimination as a whole. I learned to be more open to other people and be more understanding. People are going through a lot more than you can see on the outside. Additionally, I would love taking a dance class that compares dance to social reform and challenges social norms. I think our professor would be perfect to teach a class like this.” –Fundamentals of Modern Dance I
“Lynne's teaching style was really active - there was no point during class where we weren't experiencing, learning, or watching something new. I liked the various techniques she taught us and how she worked to incorporate her PT and anatomy-based knowledge into class.” –Fundamentals of Modern Dance I
“I learned a lot about myself from this course and Lynn was a fantastic teacher. She was well-prepared for every class and always challenged us outside our comfort zones.” –Fundamentals of Modern Dance I
“Great Instructor that has a lot of passion for teaching.” .” –Fundamentals of Modern Dance I
“Her teaching style was bold, but helpful. She definitely challenged our class, and we bonded through that.” –Fundamentals of Modern Dance I
“Not the kind of course that I was used to and therefore at times quite challenging. However the material was prepared and presented very well in a very welcoming environment which made engaging with the unorthodox (for STEM major) material easy.” –Fundamentals of Modern Dance I
“very effective and engaging.” –Fundamentals of Modern Dance I
“Lynne is a great teacher. We always have a lot of fun during the class, at the same time we really actually learn a lot. I was unable to do anything remotely graceful before this class. I'm still not what you'd call "great", but I'm better than I was. Modern dance is really fun.” –Fundamentals of Modern Dance I
“The teacher is extremely considerate and open to student's concern. I really enjoy her teaching style and make the materials very interesting and relevant to us.” –Fundamentals of Modern Dance I
“These non-major dance classes are amazing. Especially having a grad student teach them. It gives the grad students a experience teaching people who have varying levels of experience and it gives the students a chance to work with someone who is in closer proximity in life to them. Makes for a stronger bond.
Additionally, Lynne is amazing. You should hire them as a professor right now. They are an incredible teacher, an astounding dancer, and a beautiful person. I've learned so much from them about dancing but even about things the class isn't about, like feminism and queer theory. Plus, they have the sickest hair ever.” –Fundamentals of Modern Dance I
“The instructor went above and beyond to help students. This made her very approachable and fun to learn from. I loved this class and won't forget it!” –Fundamentals of Modern Dance I
“I loved this class, the instructor is great! She did a great job at making us feel like a community” –Fundamentals of Dance I
“I absolutely loved Lynne. She was incredibly hard working, engaging, and she always wanted us to keep improving. She is a great dancer, and you can tell that she LOVES dance and her students. Unlike the other TA, [name redacted], who did not even change out of his jeans & sat at his laptop as he asked students to work on their group projects, and [name redacted] who scolded me in front of her entire class because I came into the class at 12:32 instead of 12:30, Lynne was BY FAR the best instructor for this course. Kind of like Goldilocks...one teacher was just so "meh", the other teacher was uptight, and Lynne was just right. Very pleased with her. Not saying Lynne was just handing out A's left and right, I did have to work for it. Also, Lynne held EXTRA classes outside of class so that students who wanted to make up a class could do so...talk about caring about your students. (BTW, I know how the other instructors are because I made up my missed classes by going to their classes. Normally I wouldn't take the time of day to bash on other TAs but they were both just so ridiculous.)” –Fundamentals of Modern Dance I
“Great teacher. Would love to have her again. She taught us how to use dance as a way to release emotions and just be comfortable in our own skin. I really appreciate her warm energy. She was constructive but understood that it was a beginner class.” –Fundamentals of Modern Dance I
"Absolutely loved this class, I would recommend that everyone take it to learn more about themselves and to feel more connected to their bodies." –Improvisation
"absolutely loved this class! very challenging physically, mentally and emotionally, but its definitely something i will never forget. teaching style was very open and responsive to how students were feeling." – Improvisation
"I loved this class. It really helped me break out of my shell and grow as a dancer. The instructor did a phenomenal job helping me branch out." –Improvisation
"Professor Price was a great instructor. They made the class a safe space for the work we needed to do. Given the loose structure of the class, they were great at guiding us through what was expected of us, improvising around the syllabus, and exercising great judgement in leading the class. The book assigned was a great accompaniment. Even though I did not make the time to make use of the book in the class, it gave me a lot of useful ways to think that I will be carrying forward. I hope Professor Price is kept at the university, since their skill and life experience have made for great guidance for myself and other students." –Improvisation
"Lynne was extremely fair and reasonable for the course material for this class. She always gave us plenty of notice before an assignment was due and graded and handed back assignments in a fair and timely manner." –Improvisation
“I really enjoyed taking this course not only for the material taught but for the way it was designed. I liked the fact that the course was focused on discussion focused and developing our own understanding of the dance world through personal experience. My only wish is that more time was scheduled for the completion of the final project.” –Introduction to Dance
“Great teaching style/content. she made a CORE class actually interesting and applicable to my life. More than just memorizing facts, but really understanding the ideas of dance” –Introduction to Dance
“Really enjoyed the course, especially the final project. The content was interesting and it was taught in a way that anyone could appreciate, regardless of your level of experience in dance.” –Introduction to Dance
“I enjoy the unconventional teaching style of the Professor. It was challenging in a different way. More introspective and at the same time we learn to work in group.” –Introduction to Dance
“Very sweet and understanding. Absolutely loved her enthusiasm and attitude. She seems very passionate about what she does.” –Introduction to Dance
“Great and interesting class. Lynne was really effective in teaching the skills and created an open and comfortable space for us to explore movement. I really enjoyed having the opportunity to go to the DC improv jam and work with the skills we learned in class to move with people we don't know.” –Contact Improvisation
