choreography & Coaching

Beyond the stage, I have found a passion for choreographing and teaching. I’ve had the privilege of working with a variety of respected organizations, including Center City Ballet & Movement Arts, Urbana Fine Arts Center, Lyric Theatre at Illinois, and Champaign Urbana Theatre Company.

My teaching spans from young children to adults, with a curriculum rooted in a love for dance and movement, supported by a strong foundation in technique. I strive to create a nurturing, challenging, and inspiring environment where dancers can grow not only as artists, but also as individuals.

For my younger students, I emphasize the development of artistic intelligence while helping them build confidence, creativity, and discipline through dance.

With pre-professional dancers, I focus intensively on precision, technique, artistry, individuality, and storytelling—essential tools for those preparing for a career in the performing arts.

My adult classes emphasize kinesthetic awareness and the role of movement in daily life. While we continue to develop technique and expressive ability, there’s also a strong focus on how dance can support physical well-being and mental clarity.

As a choreographer, I specialize in contemporary, musical theatre, and jazz, with extensive experience in ballet. I am trained in both the Vaganova and Balanchine methods for ballet and have expert-level experience in Broadway jazz, street jazz, and Fosse styles.

My work includes coaching and choreographing for the Youth America Grand Prix (YAGP), with small ensemble works placing as high as 3rd overall at the 2025 YAGP Chicago Regional.

Additionally, I have won regional awards for my Musical Theatre choreography.

My goal—whether in the studio or on stage—is to inspire dancers to find their voice, embrace their artistry, and move through life with confidence.
