Birthday: October 12th
3 Phrases to Describe my Dance Background are:
1. My dance background was focused in classical ballet. While I studied and performed in all genres ballet was my passion. I spent my summers at dance intensives including the North Carolina School of the Arts and Nashville Ballet dancing for up to eight hours a day. In high school I danced with a pre-professional contemporary ballet company where I was able to expand my skills and repertoire.
2. I love learning about different dance techniques and dance history! Even as a teacher I continued to take dance classes and have done everything from classic modern like Graham, Cunningham, and Limon to hip-hop and heels! I love the diversity that exists in the world of dance.
3. I have been teaching and choreographing since I started college at UW – Madison! I have taught in almost every style and genre and have choreographed competition pieces in jazz and contemporary. As a teacher and choreographer I have been committed to creating spaces that are supportive and inclusive.
