Dance Education

Dance is not just an art form, but a way of life.

I enjoy teaching in a relaxed but focused atmosphere where everyone can grow and express themselves through movement. With over 40 years of dance experience in many dance styles, I bring a wealth of knowledge and passion to every class. Formerly trained at the San Francisco Ballet, I later joined the company and danced for 5 years and rose through the ranks to principle dancer. My career then took me to New York where I spent 9 years as a leading dancer with Dance Theater of Harlem.

I have performed and taught internationally, sharing the joy of dance with students and audiences of all ages and skill levels. I am dedicated to creating a supportive environment where each dancer can thrive and reach their full potential.

Emerging Young Artists

It is important to me to aid in the funding of dancers with the desire and talent but who have financial barriers to fulfilling their dreams. That is why together with my good friend Leann, I started the charity emerging young artists. Please take a moment to visit the website and find out how you can apply for scholarships or help others make their goals in dance a reality.
