My teaching method is primarily driven by creating a fun and positive energy in dance classes. I believe that dance is an art form that creates so much joy, and should be open to all people. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced dancer, I want to provide an enjoyable experience that leaves you feeling fulfilled.
I graduated from Ryerson University in 2016 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Performance Dance. I am a dance teacher at a private studio and would love to teach others online and in person in an individual or group setting! I am able to provide both dance technique classes as well as dance fitness type classes.
