Teach, Learn, Share

I love to teach Spanish to those who want to learn it. I am a good dancer and can teach dancing as well (I can bring music). I'm not a native English speaker, and my pronunciation is not the best but I got a teaching credential for teaching English as a second language. I would like to learn about French, Italian and Portuguese cultures, and any dance from around the world.
