My name is Michele Nonemaker and this is my seventh year teaching in the CMS school district. I was awarded the 2017 Dance Educator of the Year award by the Charlotte Ballet! I have taught dance previously in Philadelphia, West Virginia, and the Kentucky School Systems. I have taught all grade levels in dance and enjoy working at the middle school level. I received my Bachelors degree from Winthrop University in Dance Education. Some of my favorite teachers consist of: Caroline Calouche, Christian Von Howard, Stephanie Milling, Meg Griffen, Denise Dalton, Kyle Shaw, and Mary Beth Young, to name a few. My family lives in Pennsylvania and Florida. I have two dogs Piper and Taylor (Yes, she is named after Ike Taylor of the Pittsburgh Steelers). I live for my Pittsburgh Teams: STEELERS!, PENGUINS, AND PIRATES!!! I also love to hike and camp. I'm looking forward to a great year!
