My favorite dance style constantly changes as I explore new techniques, but currently it would be a checky slow jam or reggae set!

WHY DO YOU ENJOY TEACHING?
Teaching has been incredibly rewarding, especially while working with students at ACE. I love watching dancers become more comfortable in the space and form close bonds, being each other's best friends while pushing one another outside of their comfort zones. The energy and drive within the group inspire me every day.

My goal is to push my crews to new heights and create an environment where they can escape any outside worries. I want to foster a space where they can find peace, confidence, and focus through dance.
