As a teacher, I feel it is my responsibility to create a space that not only requires respect and discipline but an environment where any student can feel safe and secure amongst a collective group. My classes are a place where one can feel accepted and see their growth and potential through positive reinforcement. I take a one-class-at-a-time approach where I set a focus and objective for that class. Each class consists of a warm-up grounded in technique, strength, flexibility and improv exercises to connect to self. A choreographic combination is used at the end of class to establish the overall objective from the class where the dancer has the ability to cultivate their own personal taste and find their inner rhythm and voice.
