About
Hi, and thank you for checking out my work! For my past clients, thank you for your patience. I was on hiatus for personal reasons, but I am thrilled to be back on my feet and back on Lessonface.
For me, dance started when my mom put on Shania Twain, Whitney Houston and Céline Dion in the living room. She was my first teacher and I'm thankful that she gifted me with this passion. Since then, I've studied hip hop, jazz, hula, and modern dance. The main part of my 22-year journey continued with "hip hop" training and modern dance.
Currently, I am a full-time dance teacher to age 4 to 40 and have been teaching all ages and levels for 1 years. If you are a son, a daughter, a mother, a father, a couple, welcome!
I teach students how I wanted to be taught: I will come to your level and help you get to where you want to be! We won't work on something you're unwilling to do. Learning should be fun and something you want to do. My style adjusts to your personality and needs: if you want someone upbeat and energetic, I can be that! If you want someone more low-key and chill, I can be that too. As someone who is introverted with extroverted tendencies, I understand the need for changing energy levels.

"Hip hop" dance is generated from a greater culture of DJing, MCing, graffiti and b-boying (breakdance). What you see in dance studios now is a combination of borrowing from different aspects of "old school" foundational movement (i.e. boying, popping, locking, housing) and "new school" movement like contemporary and jazz. I love to co-create with this continually-evolving dance and I hope to share this movement with you through a fun, safe, and inspiring learning environment.
