Dear Jorge,

If time allowed, I would have cherished spending the next 15 minutes expressing my gratitude to you for providing students like myself with the invaluable opportunity to immerse in your World History of Dance class. Dancing, for me, is more than movement; it stirs something spiritual and almost metaphysical within, fostering a profound sense of connection with others. Your presence facilitated this connection among our classmates, creating a space where history wasn't just studied but lived through our bodies—an experience beyond what any history book could offer.

Your unique ability to evoke such deep sentiments in your students is truly admirable. You instill in us a genuine desire to care, listen, and learn. Your dedication to your students is resonates deeply with me.

I simply wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks and offer a namaste. Namaste, symbolizing the recognition of spirit within each of us, encapsulates my appreciation. I see it in you, and that strikes a chord within me. Your influence as a professor will undoubtedly shape how I aspire to teach and inspire my future students.

Warm regards,
Jiya

I appreciate your kindness in taking the time to consider students' individual circumstances and learning styles. The effort you put towards making connections with your class/students gives them an opportunity to learn, rather than just memorize information and be a number on a roster, which allows your genuine desire to teach shine through. You will definitely be a professor I'll remember looking back at my college experience. Enjoy your summer! Thank you, Jia Romero

DO NOT CLICK ON LINKS or OPEN ATTACHMENTS unless you know and trust the sender. Hi Jorge, I hope you are having a nice summer. A couple of weeks ago, I arrived in the Philippines to begin my two-year service as a Peace Corps Volunteer. One of our first nights here, we had a cultural celebration that included an hour-long dance performance that featured all of the Philippines' important dances. This made me think of DAN 250 and our many discussions around the importance of the history of dance and how it ties into beliefs and cultures. Your class helped me appreciate this performance in the Philippines much more than I think I would have otherwise. I wanted to thank you again for a great semester, and let you know how your teaching is impacting your students outside of the classroom! I attached a couple ...
