    To Whom It May Concern,

    It is a pleasure to write a letter of recommendation for Esther Hopkin, who is
    seeking employment as a dance teacher in the public school environment. Esther is
    an incredibly accomplished and conscientious young woman and will make
    considerable contributions, not only as a dance teacher, but also as a citizen of the
    school wherein she teaches.

    I have known and worked with Esther for approximately 4 years. During that time I
    have been her teacher in several classes and settings, from a rigorous anatomy class
    to a more practice-based teaching methodologies course, to a performance setting.
    In all instances I have found Esther to be an engaged learner, willing to think
    critically and ask probing questions. Her thirst for knowledge and learning leads her
    to create a consistently stellar product, whether it be a research paper, dance
    curriculum, lesson plan, or movement and choreography. In all of these settings,
    Esther excels.

    Through substantial teaching opportunities with both elementary and secondary
    students, Esther has honed and refined her skills to become an accomplished
    teacher. She instructs children, adolescents and young adults with finesse while
    demonstrating understanding of their differing developmental needs. She teaches
    with clear knowledge of the theoretical content of dance; and understands how to
    deliver it in ways that will engage diverse learners. As evidenced through her
    successful student teaching placement in a Title I school that houses the most
    diverse population of learners in the state, Esther is well prepared to handle a
    variety of challenges. In all instances, her compassion and regard for her students
    are evident.

    Esther is a leader and a collaborator, traits that she demonstrates consistently
    among her peers and in working with students. She is persuasive and positive while
    holding others to the same high standards of excellence that she expects of herself.

    In her role in the presidency of DancEnsemble (a student-led performing company),


    Esther demonstrated impressive leadership skills in situations that required her to
    make decisions involving her peers. In all instances she acted with integrity.

    I have no doubt that Esther will be a positive addition to any school that chooses to
    hire her. She will teach and lead with a clear vision for what a dance arts education
    can offer; and she will work to build a program that produces excellence and
    commands respect. She will be an inspiring role model for the young students she
    teaches and will contribute as a citizen of the school. I recommend her with
    confidence in her capacity to inspire excellence in all who work with her.

    Sincerely,



    Pamela S. Musil, Professor
    Contemporary Area Head
    Department of Dance
    Brigham Young University
