Teaching Statement
I intentionally foster and help dancers to explore and find their own voice in movement. I give students the space to grow in their understanding of dance physically and mentally. I believe that is key to creating health and excelling students.. Not only do I shape skilled movers, but I also nurture artists to find their passion within the art form, as I strongly feel this creates a more versatile and creative dancer.
I value safety, alignment, and technique to expand a dancer's abilities for expression, performance, and artistry. I also value diversity and believe that every dancer brings something unique to the space. I teach that dance is community based and the heart of community is inclusion. Ultimately, I intend to create an environment where every student feels inspired to dance. As a teacher, I guide dancers toward moving authentically, creating with passion, and connecting through the art of dance, all well focusing on developing a strong, technical, and capable body.
