“I recently said to someone when describing Simone Coonrod that highly-qualified is an understatement. Ms Coonrod knows her material thoroughly and teaches it well. She is a true example of a master teacher. Her depth of knowledge of dance as it relates to American history, regional studies and cultural studies is unparalleled and evidenced in her classes.” Irene Hall, Leader and Co-Founder, Discovery Charter School, Newark, NJ
