Brian Hernandez
My name is Brian Hernandez and estoy muy feliz to be back and teaching dance at Halestone! Originally, I'm from Falls Church, Virginia but my roots are based in El Salvador. I received my Bachelor's of Science in Studio Art/Art Education from James Madison University. As an educator, one of my mottos is to "define normal" and I carry that motto into many aspects of life. My background stems from different experiences such as being the dance captain for Grupo Candela, being in JMU's show choir (The Madisonians), working for Disney in Anaheim, choreographing the camp dances from my job at Encore, and different theatre roles! Life is constantly moving so why shouldn't we?
