I am Cyndi Waddell. I began dancing at a young age and continued training until I graduated from Columbia College with a BA in dance in 1986. I have been a dance education teacher for over 30 years in South Carolina Public Schools. During that time, I have honed my skills as a dance integration specialist as well. I am excited to make dance accessible to classroom teachers so that they can best meet the needs of their students and give them every opportunity to succeed. I am a granddaughter of a visual artist, a daughter of a visual artist and musician, and a mother of a visual artist. The arts run deep in my family, and we are prime examples of how much the arts can contribute to and enhance a person's life.
