DANCE EDUCATION
I primarily teach ballet, pointe, contemporary, and conditioning for dancers as young as age four through adult. I have a particular interest in training pre-professional dancers, as well as helping students navigate the transition from childhood training to the next level of their dance education post-high school and beyond as they begin to explore a career in dance. In addition to my role as a teacher and rehearsal director at the Center of Creative Arts (COCA) and St. Louis Academy of Dance, I offer private lessons for dancers of various ages, experiences, and interests. Please send me a message to learn more.
