“My teaching philosophy is centered around empowerment. As an educator, it is my responsibility to offer tools that can help my students unlock their fullest potential, and feel a sense of ownership over their education in dance.”
My approach is to provide a clear classical ballet structure, focusing on strength, coordination, organization, and breath within the movement. I also focus on internal sensations more than external shapes in order to not restrict my students to the typical aesthetic of classical ballet. I want my classes to be an inclusive and safe space for my students to explore, learn, make mistakes and find joy in their dancing.

The thought that not everyone has the privilege of doing what they love and receiving a safe space to speak up and out (literally and metaphorically). A combination of gratitude and passion.
