teaching
Sharing dance with people of all ages, experience levels, and physical capabilities, I am passionate about access and quality in arts education. My career began in 2017 as a freelance dancer and dance teacher for ballet and contemporary dance. My formal education includes a diploma in dance from Arts Umbrella and Vancouver Community College, which succeeded years of training within Canada and the U.S.
Having been introduced to many styles of dance, studio environments, and approaches to training and choreographic creation, I now hone what I find valuable, relevant and healthy for people and the professional and recreational dancers they become.
