EDUCATOR
"I will never take for granted the privilege of leading a group of young dancers. I have such respect for those who have guided me as a professional, specifically those who have taught me what it takes to be an educator and those who have given me the opportunity and space to hone and develop that skill.
We hold so much responsibility when we lead a room of young, impressionable, passionate, vulnerable and resilient young dancers, specifically in regards to the language we choose to use and the specificity in which we guide them in their growth. I’ve fallen in love with learning again through the early stages of becoming an educator and I am so very grateful for the journey."
- JAMES MICHAEL HARRIS
"James is something everyone needs. His deep rooted passion, infectious enthusiasm and varied experience means he creates an exceedingly rare narrative within his classes. Allowing a student to develop themselves both physically and mentally through well thought out and relevant choreography but more importantly through structured, positive and cerebral verbal cues. James is a rare find, a reminder of our potential and an elixir to success."
- Rosina Andrews

LET'S COLLABORATE
“I absolutely loved working with James on my short dance documentary #Mouvement21. It was so easy to talk about my vision with James and he also was not afraid to share his ideas with me, all of which were fabulous and would enhance the final cut of the video.
James’s final edit was of excellent quality. You could see he took on my feedback and really paid attention to what I wanted it to say to it’s audience. I would highly recommend James as he is able to translate your vision to film and he is totally client focused.”
