The Story behind Crafterina!
After teaching children's dance classes across New York City for a number of years, professional dancer and visual artist Vanessa Salgado always encountered the same question from parents: what can we practice at home to make my child a better dancer? Vanessa's answer always surprised them: don't practice the classroom exercises at home— instead, expose your child to the arts, encourage them to play, and share with them a love of dance. Eventually, after realizing that parents needed a bit of help doing just that, Vanessa created Crafterina®, a storybook and dance education brand for the whole family.
