Philosophy
As an educator, I fundamentally believe that everyone can dance. I have devoted my career to work with individuals from many backgrounds, abilities, and varying experience with dance and movement. I love working with pre-professional dancers, but I also enjoy sharing my craft with actors, individuals with disabilities, and people who have never attended a dance class. It is exciting to watch someone discover a new passion and learn something new.
