I am an experienced dance instructor covering Latin, Ballroom, and Club dance styles! My teaching methods are geared to how you learn best - visual, kinesthetic, auditory, etc. I began dancing at the age of nine in the Pacific Northwest region and became an International Ballroom 10-Dance DanceSport competitor. At the age of 20 I left the competitive world of dance and began working as a part-time dance instructor in various private and franchise studios in Seattle, Orange County - California, and Brooklyn - NYC, while pursuing a professional career in healthcare and public health.
My experience covers everything from kindergarten level children group classes, to hundreds of wedding couples, to senior adults that are using dance therapy for neurodegenerative disease management. Although I was trained by a syllabus and strong guidelines, my theory on dance is very dynamic and focuses on kinesthetic understanding of movement and empowering one to feel confident.
I have seen dance change countless lives. It is the universal language that overcomes all boundaries - may it be religion, geography, character, culture, and all else. Whether you are looking to overcome your anxiety, build confidence to meet someone special, get ready for a wedding, or need some spice at an event/party - I will help you all shine your brightest on the dance floor.
