been dancing non-stop since her first Tap class in 1983 and became a full-time

Yvette's training includes Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Modern, Bellydance,
Hip-Hop, and Musical Theater with a smidgen of African, Ballet Folkloric, and

the pleasure of working with students ranging from age 2.5 through 70+, at all
levels of ability. She has choreographed
musicals for students of Woodland High School, Douglas Junior High School,
Woodland Community College and Pioneer High School. In addition, a couple of her favorite
choreography projects include working with the Woodland High School Showchoir
for three years and working with the children of the Yolo Stage Company since
2003. Yvette is a Woodland native - born
and raised - she is a wife, and a Mom with a wonderful 6-year-old
daughter. Not that she gets the chance
very often, but, when given the chance, she enjoys curling up with a good
detective story and a cup of hot chocolate!
Elise Curteman - Administration / Teacher /
Choreographer
Elise Curteman began working with children when she was in 7th
grade. All the way through college, she
continued to spend her summers working at places like Santa Cruz Parks and
Rec., the YMCA, and Galileo Learning - a popular Bay Area summer program -
where she worked with the four to six year old age group from 2009 to
2012. Elise loves to dance! She was introduced to the art through color
guard when she entered high school. She
started taking dance classes at 16, and continued through college. Elise graduated from San Jose State
University with a BS in Social Science for Teaching and a minor in Ballet. She also enjoyed doing Jazz, Modern, and Tap,
while at SJSU. After graduating in 2012,
Elise and her now husband moved back to his hometown of Woodland, where she
began taking ballet classes with Yvette. Elise began teaching for Dynamic
Dancing a year later, and couldn't be happier. She loves combining her two
greatest passions: working with children and dance. The 2018 Showcase is
Elise's sixth Showcase with Yvette, though this year she is working behind the
scenes because she is now a mom to an amazing 2 year old little boy who already
loves music and dance, and a beautiful new baby girl. Kathryn
Joyce Daily - Administration / Teacher / Choreographer
Kathy Daily's dance training began in early
childhood, and has included ballet, jazz, tap (both theatrical and rhythm
styles), international folk dancing, square dancing, ballroom, and modern
dance. In addition, she's performed and choreographed for musical theater and
was a member of the San Ramon Valley Dance Academy's award-winning adult
performing group "Just 4 Kicks" for several years. In 2008, Kathy developed a dance/aerobic
program which focused on dance technique, "tricks" of stage performance, and
upbeat recognizable music. Her 60-minute aerobic classes became extremely
popular and for the next nine years she taught over a hundred students in this "dance class for non-dancers." Kathy
relocated from Walnut Creek to Woodland in 2017 to enjoy retirement and share
her enthusiasm for dance with Yolo County. Her "Get UP and Dance" program is
currently offered twice weekly at WC&SC and she's looking forward to adding
more classes before the end of this year. Anja Dingman - Administration / Teacher / Choreographer
