From Tina….
I emigrated from Greece as a child, grew up in Gary, pursued advanced degrees in the arts and education, and spent most of my career in Chicago.
There I conducted my corporate training business, ran a dance business, and enjoyed a very busy 20 years of teaching art in the Chicago Public Schools. I’ve always juggled at least two “jobs” at the same time—not being able to quickly answer the question, “So what do you do?”
Now that I’m “retired” and living in Hamilton County, I have the flexibility to pursue my interests, to teach, and to create art at my own pace. I take time to connect with others and share ideas because unexpected things can happen to make life richer. My purpose in life remains the same: to create and teach. I’d love to hear from you. Join me on a journey and “take your brain on a dance through life.”
Please feel free to share ideas, to collaborate, or to get more info.

For 40+ years, I’ve taught thousands of students of all ages and engaged hundreds of professionals in my ventures. I’m grateful for the opportunities and talent-sharing.
