Teaching Philosophy

I have a passion for creating classes that build a foundation for a life-long love of dance and movement.

I believe cultivating a positive and supportive environment where students feel free to take risks, make mistakes, ask questions, and have fun, builds better dancers and more confident individuals. I try to create this environment by making sure every dancer feels seen on their path of improvement, whether they are the most or least technically advanced in the room.
