Teacher expertise and credentials
I studied all styles of dance beginning at age five and attended dance conventions from a wide variety of teachers and choreographers in the professional dance industry. I have taught all styles of dance to all ages for over fifteen years at dance studios, park and rec programs, and independently. I also developed a dance class experience for parents and toddlers to enjoy together in 2006 when I was seven months pregnant with my second child who is currently studying with the School of American Ballet in New York City.
I have attended the Dance Teachers Summit in New York City, taking classes and seminars with a variety of children's dance teachers from across the country. I am fortunate to have access to a vibrant arts community in New York City which constantly inspires my teaching.
