Dancing for companies such as American Youth Dance Theater, Steps on Broadway and Diverse Space Dance Theater has shaped my teaching style. I graduated from New York University with a BFA in musical theater in 2005. I danced and sang professionally on stages large and small, from the Lincoln Center to the Long Center. As academy director for Galaxy Dance Studios and Tapestry Dance Company I designed curriculum, directed pre-professional training programs and orchestrated performances. At Balance Studios in Austin, Texas, I created the Elevate musical theater company and choreographed award-winning pieces for Push Dance Company. From seminars and master classes to anatomy, mind and movement research, I continue learning and work to bring innovative techniques to every class.
