My dance journey started at the age of three and have loved every second of it! For the past six years, I have been a competitive dancer, where I’ve developed a passion for challenging myself, learning new things, and growing both as a dancer and teacher.
I love all styles of dance, including Jazz, Lyrical, Contemporary, Hip Hop, Ballet, and Tap. With Hip Hop and Tap being my favorite! I have had the opportunity to train with many talented choreographers, including Mark Yonally, Founder and Artistic Director of Chicago Tap Theatre, Cathy Wind, Artistic Director of Keane Sense of Rhythm, Whitney Masse, Valley Dance District, Sylvia Borash, and Anna Esposito.
I have performed in large and small groups, solos, duos, and trios and have been honored to receive many awards. I have spent the past four years as a teaching assistant and am excited to begin my third year as a dance teacher. Teaching has become such an important part of my dance journey. I love sharing my passion for dance with my students while helping them improve their technique, build confidence, challenge themselves, and reach their goals. My teachers have inspired and encouraged me throughout my dance journey, and I hope to have that same positive impact on my students. I’m excited for another season of dancing, learning, and growing together. I can’t wait to get started!
