ARTISTIC STATEMENT
Focused, fierce, and fully immersed, is the dancer I am constantly striving to be.
As a perfectionist, dance is an art form that can never be perfected, so it will give me a forever drive.
I have always loved school, therefore, dancing will allow me to always be a teacher, and a student, at the same
time
​
I describe my personal style as a mixture of contemporary and jazz with influences of commercial dance.
Within the realm of commercial dance, I believe in the aspects of a dancer with a strong stage presence, but with
an equally strong technical background. Growing up bouncing back and forth between competition studios,
ballet studios, and ballroom studios I have learned to be an adaptable and moldable dancer. My
training was a melting pot of experiences.
I thrive from working with song lyrics because music is the base for dance, and I want to create the visual for
the song. I see the lyrics as a storyboard for my movement.
I want to teach dancers to be aware of their bodies and flow between fluidity and sharpness.
I emphasize utilizing quick twitch muscles and syncopation that is very beat driven, within the
musical realm.
I relish in highlighting the entertainment and escapism that dance can provide for both the dancers and the
viewer. I want to take people away from their everyday lives, and bring them into the world that I have created.
It is the passion for the art that gives me the drive to claim everyday as my own, and make every room my
stage.
Research in Arts Management

I am in the process of earning my master's in Performing Arts Leadership and Management. I am passionate about how we are dancers and people can make our community (aka the dance world) a safer place.
