Dance Coaching
Coaching is such a wonderful tool. Anyone can benefit from an extra set of eyes.

Teaching & Choreography
We’re all individuals with different strengths and needs. Teaching allows me to tune into them and use my professional knowledge to help you improve and blossom. I teach private and group classes of any age and level. Due to my dance training and background, I am able to teach a wide range of classes including ballet technique, contemporary, and choreography exploration classes.
I have choreographed solos and group pieces, one of which was performed by Ballet X in 2021.
