Acting, Ballet/Pointe, Jazz, Tap, Theatre, And Voice Instructor.
About
I teach song, performance and dance creativitly to make sure students are left with their own tools to sing or dance in their room or stage confidently! I have had ballet training for 16 years, with 7 years on pointe. I also sing and major in music, so I find the rhythm part of songs vital to executing the movement spectacularly. I have training in all forms of dance, since I go to class 5 days a week on top of college. My proficiency is in Ballet, pointe, jazz, hiphop, musical theatre, lyrical, modern, etc.
I cannot stop creating!! Performing is such a good way to enhance your mind. You become more aware of emotions, of how to entertain, and your ambition soars because you become passionate about the world you live in.
