Cynthia is a Level 3 certified Essentrics instructor. (There are 4 levels of training) She became interested in Essentrics through the PBS program Classical Stretch. She went to the CS website to learn more about the method and to look for a live class in the area. There were no teachers in the immediate area, so she decided to pursue certification herself.

Cynthia has been a teacher in Evanston/Skokie Public Schools since 1991.
Cynthia grew up with dance lessons. Today she is still dancing at Studio Mangialmeli, a flamenco studio in Evanston.
