Summary

Whether I am prepping to perform or teach, I am extremely dedicated to being overly prepared. Similar to choreographing a dance, I create sequences for my yoga classes that are not only mentally and physically interesting, but that flow seamlessly from one shape to the next. I curate playlists for each class that match the energy and pacing of the format because, just like in dance, having music that is the right BPM and energy for the yoga flow makes a huge difference for the student's experience.


Along with many shows I have danced in, I have experience as a dance captain, choreographing small group numbers, and choreographing solo dance numbers. I have also worked with kids through assisting children's music classes and performing interactive children's theatre.


I have a wealth of knowledge and experience in dance and musical theatre that makes me confident in my ability to choreograph my first musical.
