Teaching style: I strive to bring out the best and most out of every student I teach. I encourage students to push themselves in a positive, unbiased environment.

Walk away with: I want my students to walk away from class feeling accomplished and eager to return.

Other people describe teaching style: People say I am very patient yet challenging.

My favorite memory as a Dancer: performing for Rita Ora at People’s Choice awards was super fun.

 

My favorite memory as a Teacher: when I had stitches in my hand from surgery and my students would not let me do any dance moves, it was really funny.
