DANCE EDUCATION & CHOREOGRAPHER
Pamela has been a dance educator and choreographer for over 20 years, predominately offering Ballet, Contemporary Ballet, Contemporary, Modern, & Lyrical. She has choreographed hundreds of works for performance and competition. Class and work size ranges from an individual to nearly 100 students in production pieces.
Education has always been an important aspect of Pamela’s life, so she earned my BFA in Dance and her Masters in Secondary English Education. In her early career, she performed throughout NYC, Long Island, and the United States, and was awarded tenure as a New York State middle and high school English teacher.
She prides herself in providing a well-rounded education for students, teaching technique and alignment, movement awareness, mind-body connection, and vocabulary and skills. She strives to instill confidence and positivity, and create a supportive, nurturing classroom environment where dancers of all levels can flourish.
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 Pamela’s greatest passions and she is grateful to be able to share that with others.
Pamela is available virtually and in person for privates, group classes, and choreography.
YOGA
Pamela is a RYT-500 Hour Yoga Instructor registered with Yoga Alliance. In addition, she is certified in Aerial Yoga, Aerial Dance, Sound, Reiki, & Thai Yoga Massage (see Yoga page for more information on education).
Pamela guides others to feel the energy and beauty they possess within themselves through their movement. She believes everyone has the capability to integrate their yogic discoveries into their lives to live a fuller, more cognizant, existence. Pamela is known to share strong alignment cues to assist in asana development and injury prevention, but believes it doesn’t matter what shape you take, it only matters how that shape makes you feel! She is drawn to Vinyasa because of its flowing sequences and smooth transitions, as she has a strong dance background and the two feel relatable. Pamela is known for her creative sequencing and transitions, as well as her joyful delivery and play. She hopes to inspire others to move with intention, feel expansion in all directions, and find the freedom to let go within their motion. Asana practice feels like a moving meditation to Pamela and pranayama a beautiful articulation of breath. Her classes are designed to share all this and more with her students, as well as inspire them to find their individuality, peace, and joy on the mat.

ART WORK
Pamela usually paints with acrylic. Being so inspired by movement is reflected in her paintings. My works are an array of color, texture, and design, with free flowing forms and images left for your interpretation. Her color palette is often the emotional palette she is currently connecting with.
