DANCE BACKGROUND


I received a BA in dance from Slippery Rock University and hold a teacher certificate in Cecchetti ballet technique.I am also  so proud to be a certified teacher of Rhythm Works Integrative Dance. I tuagh my first dance class 18 years ago, spending the last 11 years at Thomas!



TEACHING PHILOSOPHY


As a dance educator my goal is always to put my students first. It is important that they know that I believe in their personal growth and journey and I will be there for them every step of the way. Dancers thrive in dance when it is balanced with love, fun and structure! Having the opportunity to mentor and develop the next generation of dancers is the most fulfilling part of my job.
