Teaching Philosophy

My teaching philosophy is focused on building intelligent dancers that understand how to apply technical mechanics of dance for their unique body, with an additional twofold focus of encouraging movement artistry and creative curiosity!

​

I personally invest in the dancers that I have the privilege to teach, and I desire to assist them in reaching their dance goals. From beginner to advanced students, my hope is that I can foster spaces where excellent training and discovery can be blended and unlocked, fueling the development of imaginative artists.
