I shape my students into well-rounded, intellectual artists who can view their art-making through a social justice lens. I stress a historical and cultural understanding of the art form, encouraging my students to be cognizant of what is happening in the world, and how this relates to dance. 

My students gain an understanding of different facets of dance, including an understanding of the fundamentals of technique, basic anatomy of the body and self-care, and how to craft a deep connection with an audience during performances. I work to foster a greater sense of both internal and external awareness and heightened sensory perception within my students. I introduce movement that utilizes all five senses in order to foster a deeper sense of embodiment within their movement.  This allows my students to discover a greater sense of freedom and expansiveness.  I provide a secure and nurturing environment while celebrating individuality and building a strong sense of community.  My students are confident in their abilities and empowered to find their own creative voice.
