About
As the director and creator of AIM Studios, I am an international dance coach and choreographer with over 10 years of experience. I work with novice to professional artists and hold multiple certifications in fitness, yoga, acrobatics, and bodywork to enhance my craft. I work with clients of all ages, with my youngest client being 5 and my oldest being 89. I am well-versed in all dance techniques and have trained at the top schools for dance and musical theater, including Alvin Ailey, A.M.D.A, New School, Fordham, and most recently CUNY, where I am working toward my master's degree as a physician assistant specializing in orthopedics.
I am passionate about bringing out a person's unique artistry. I believe it's never too late or early to pursue something you desire. Allow me to coach you toward your goals and dreams. You can find me on Instagram at Artistry_inmotion. Witnessing personal growth and seeing my clients become the best versions of themselves brings me immense joy. Remember, it's about progress, not perfection!
