About
I teach Modern Jazz, Ballet Basics, Brazilian Samba, Ashtanga Yoga, Dance Fitness, and more. I have a passion for teaching beginner dancers, no matter their age. My classes emphasize the importance of a solid foundation of technique, and a willingness to have fun. I believe dance should feel good, and that anyone can do it. Dance has transformative powers. To dance is to live!

Resume
I have years of experience as a Dance Teacher, working both independently, and on staff at various dance studios and schools. I also worked in the administrative offices of many of those studios, so my experience extends to studio management as well. In 2012, I shifted my focus and started teaching Voice, my other passion. I love teaching both!
