Artist Bio

A Deeper Look

    I have three years of experience teaching dance. My skills in classical ballet, lesson preparation, and technique development have been honed throughout my career. I have experience demonstrating complex choreography and breaking it into easy-to-understand movements for pupils of various skill levels. Additionally, I am briefed on the fundamentals of jazz, tap, contemporary, lyrical, and hip-hop, allowing me to rapidly adapt to new style requests. Furthermore, my background will enable me to facilitate audio-visual lessons for all age groups, crafting and delivering individual lesson plans. I possess several professional strengths, such as communication, leadership, and organization. By communicating with dancers and parents, I can ensure that lessons are constructed to meet their exact needs. My leadership abilities enable me to lead small and large group sessions, and my organizational skills allow me to prioritize tasks to ensure that lessons are taught to high-efficiency standards.

   I have undergone professional Pilates training and have extensive experience in coaching clients from diverse backgrounds. My traditional Pilates curriculum helps in improving clients' flexibility, balance, and core strength. As I continue to hone my skills in teaching Pilates sessions, I strive to create warm and welcoming environments for all my clients. Through private sessions, I aim to help my clients achieve their fitness goals and develop a deeper appreciation for the joy of movement.
