What inspired you to start teaching dance?
I think I always knew I could make a difference. I wanted dancers to feel truly seen and to know that I care- about their potential, their growth, their lives, and who they are as people. I've learned many valuable lessons from mentors and friends in my own life! I also have a passion for dancers being taught with clarity and high expectations, proper technique development, and having an updated knowledge base to support one's teachings. It is crucial that educators stay learning about the latest trends, happenings, and ways to prevent injury in the dance world- evolution is all part of the rhythm.
What’s one life lesson that dance has taught you?
Progress over perfection- always! As a perfectionist, this has taken a while for me to learn. It has created paralysis in my own life, while waiting for the “perfect” moment or outcome- and led to procrastination or times where I never even got started at all. I have since learned to enjoy the process more and not be so hard on myself.

What’s one life lesson that dance has taught you?
Since I have grown up in the strict ballet world, it has taught me so much about how to be respectful, precise, and elegant in the studio. It also taught me to be who I am today!

I have always looked up to the choreographer, Maria Konrad. I had the opportunity to work with her recently and that would be someone I would love to see her life and dance work!
If your dance life were a movie, what would the title be?
I love to have fun, but the ballet world is very serious as you probably know. So I think my movie title would be "Confetti & Pirouettes". It's fun, but also shows some seriousness!
