Education has always been an important aspect of my life, so I earned my BFA in Dance and my Masters in Secondary English Education. In my early career, I performed throughout NYC, Long Island, and the United States, and was awarded tenure as a New York State middle and high school English teacher.

I pride myself in providing a well-rounded education for students, teaching technique and alignment, movement awareness, mind-body connection, and vocabulary and skills. I strive to instill confidence and positivity, and create a supportive, nurturing classroom environment where dancers of all levels can flourish.

I have been a dance educator and choreographer for over 20 years, predominately offering Ballet and Contemporary, and have choreographed hundreds of works for performance and competition. Class and work size ranges from an individual to nearly 100 students in production pieces.

Dance is a way we can express ourselves without words, a way we can share our thoughts and feelings, and it is a way we can come together as a community to create art with our bodies. Teaching is one of my greatest passions and I am so grateful to be able to share my love daily.

I am available virtually and in person for privates, group classes, and choreography.
