I teach ballet, jazz, lyrical, tap, creative movement and hip-hop, with ballet being my specialty. I am very involved in our Kicks Company and regularly choreograph routines for our dancers to take to competition. In addition to my involvement at Kicks, I teach summer dance camps and have also work with young children teaching dance for a "lunch bunch" program. I have attended many teacher workshops such as Dance Teacher Magazine's Teacher Summit; Finis Jhung's Teacher Workshop; and Anne Green-Gilbert's Summer Dance Institute for Creative Movement among many others |
