About
I have been teaching dance for 18 years and yoga for 16 years. I have my own performance dance and circus arts fusion company in Baltimore, Md that has been successful for 11 years. I train people and choreograph and direct shows. I have a degree in theater and dance from JMU. I love many kinds of dance, acrobatics and movement so I can teach several styles and fitness classes.
I love inspiring my students and watching them grow and progress. It is the most satisfying feeling knowing I helped a student gain confidence and get strong and healthy.

Frequently asked questions
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Ballet, pointe, modern and jazz training at The Russell School of Ballet and performed in their pre-professional ballet company The Fairfax Ballet till I was 18 years old. I continued to study dance in college with a focus on contemporary dance at JMU. After college I danced professionally and taught dance at many studios in the DC area and then Baltimore City. I direct a contemporary dance and circus arts fusion company. We do partner and solo acrobatics, aerials, contortion, fire dance, flow arts and many styles of dance: contemporary, jazz, hip hop, world dance and breaking. I also perform burlesque. Now I have my own dance studio where I teach and reherse. I love teaching private lessons to all ages.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Private lessons can be from $30-40 or $50-60 depending on the needs of the student. I do give price breaks for students that want to do more than one class. I would rather teach the students ongoing so they can make more progress. I have a sliding scale for people who are in need.
How did you get started teaching?
I started teaching at 18 after leaving my ballet studio summer before college. I taught ballet, jazz, modern, and hip hop.
What types of students have you worked with?
All kinds of students from creative movement with 2-3 and 3-5 yr olds, to young children, teens and adults.
