About the lesson

Developing artistry, strength, enjoyment while being safe are my main goals when teaching dance.

I teach contemporary technique and choreography, improvisation, floorwork/strengthening, ballet, and jazz technique and choreography. I structure these classes to emphasize strengthening of the body so dancers can safely challenge themselves as they improve.

I focus on strengthening the whole body in as warm ups so that dancers can transition into choreography, improvisation, or aerobics more smoothly. I have experience teaching all ages from elementary to collegiate level.

I have danced competitively for 12 years and studied different realms of dance performance and choreography for 6 years. I also cross train in 5+ styles of martial arts which influence my dance artistry and aerobic training.
