Get to know teacher Ms Alta better!

Alta has been dancing for 14 years and is happy to be a company member this year at Canyon Concert Ballet.  Alta danced with Colorado Conservatory of Dance formerly known as Ballet Nouveau Colorado.  She has performed in many CCB performances including three CCB Nutcrackers. Alta joined CCB when she was 13 years old and has enjoyed the time and teachers’ dedication to the art form.  She thanks her teachers Melissa Corr, Alicia Laumann, and Laurel Whisker for their support and hard work.

Ms Alta teaches Find Your Style on Wednesdays at 4:30pm, Contemporary 1 on Wednesdays at 5:30pm, and Jazz 2 on Wednesdays at 6:30pm.

Here are some fun questions we asked Ms Alta to get to know her a little better:

What is your proudest accomplishment?

I don’t know if I have one yet.

What is your favorite book? How about movie?

My favorite book is  The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien.
My favorite movie is Clue.

Is there a quote or saying that you live your life by?

Fake it till you make it.

Would you rather vacation in Alaska or Hawaii, and why?

Alaska, I’ve always felt more at home in the mountains and cooler weather. I love being able to wear comfy sweaters.

What are your hobbies?

Sleeping, and falling asleep reading a good book.

If you were a superhero, what would your powers be?

Power of teleportation, save so much money on travel.

What three items would you take with you on a deserted island?

A good book and then form a book club with coconuts, a knife (basic survival) and a boat so I could get off  the island once the coconuts started to annoy me.

What is your favorite part about teaching at CCB?

My students. It’s very satisfying when you know your students enjoy dancing and learning something new from you each day.
