“I know I have a lot to offer in my class besides my dance education and knowledge. I feel I can inspire, educate, create unique movement, and make the experience of my class positive and uplifting.”

“Being born and raised in NY has given me a dynamic and eclectic eye for dance. My style of choreography represents an openness to constant growth and self-discovery.”
