As a certified dance instructor and examiner, I love teaching people of all ages.
I love the innocence and energy of children who are excited to learn and move their bodies….students who want to dance, are up for challenges and have the passion to grow not only their skill, but as people.
Adults offer the opportunity to connect with a community that may be putting on their shoes for the first time or returning to dance. They may be in class as a stress/mental break, to get their body moving and in shape, to check something off their bucket list, to reconnect with a passion/skill from the past or just for a little ‘me’ time.
Every student in my class is a gift….an opportunity for me to share what I love and to continue to grow and learn.

With over 33 years of experience and passion for dancing and teaching, I am excited to offer teacher training to people who are either new to teaching or need motivation and inspiration to reconnect with their WHY.
Instructing can be isolating. You have a connection with students, but not necessarily a connection with peers. I want to help bridge this gap and share my tools and experiences so others can learn from both my successes and mistakes and feel supported along the way.
