Dance has always been a huge part of my life ad I have had many mentors throughout my years in the studio, performing arts high school and through college. My hope is to help my students in the way my teachers have helped me. Not only focusing on the technique but on general life skills. I love being able to help shape the next generation of dance by watching my students flourish.

Frequently asked questions

What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with students of all ages and abilties from toddler through adult, beginner to advanced, for students looking for fun or for a career in dance. I have also worked with dancers with a range of disabilities, working to find a way for dance expression based on their abilities, not their limitations.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Look for a teacher that excels in the specific style and/or focus area you wish to help perfect. Dance is a broad spectrum. Some teachers are more based towards concert dance (like me) which will lead to more professional dance companies and is what most college programs are based on. Some are more based in the commercial dance world which can be anything from competition to music videos or back up dancers.
