"Dance to me is about personal growth, inspiring others, developing perspective and insight through artistic expression, establishing an internal connection as well as creating memorable experiences. Through performance, teaching, social dancing and mentoring I am committed to artistic excellence as well as to promote positivity, creativity, musicality, expression and the longevity of our craft. My students' experience in all types of dance is important to me and I hope to be a part of them experiencing dance in their lives in the most positive and joyful way".
