Biography:My name is Andrea Polyak & I?m so excited to be teaching classes here in my community! I started dancing when I was 2 years old and at the age of 13, started helping in dance classes here & there at the studio I took at. When I was 17 years old, I was asked to be Assistant Teacher in a Baby Comb Class ages 3-5 years old. I learned a lot from the main teacher that year & had so much fun sharing my love of dance. Over the years I danced at BMDA, I competed at state & national levels with Tap, Jazz & Lyrical. We also performed all over the East Valley at community events. My favorite type of dance is Tap, performing & teaching it! Looking over the past 14 years of teaching dance, I really didn?t think this would be my job! Yet, I really don?t like to call it is a job more just making a positive influence in a young person?s life. I started teaching with the Town of Gilbert Park & Recreation in 2000 and you will find that most of the classes that are still running today are the ones that I started. From the Tiny/Mini tumbling, Fun & Fitness & Fairy Ballet! I spent about 4 years with town teaching before I had my boys. After that I stayed home with my boys and I ran a small dance program at the Las Sendas Community in Mesa one day a week. This program has been on going for the past 9 years! I?m married to a supportive husband, Keith and we have a busy family! We moved to Queen Creek in 2004. Beside the love of dance, I?m very active in Girl Scouts. I have daughter who is 12 & dances competitively. I also have two boys who are 8 & 7 and active with football!
