About Me

Hello!  I'm a NYU alumni graduating with my Master's in Dance Education and Choreography.   I have danced with Momix dance company, numerous other companies through out the states, and Europe.  Now I perform and teach workshops around the world with the dance company Pilobolus.  (temporary freelance work)  I also am the owner and artistic director of Grounded Aerial- an aerial dance company in NYC.

But! What is missing from my life are students.  I adore teaching them.  All levels and types.  The joy of movement and dance is so important to spread, and such an organic thing that all humans can do.  No matter what age or skill level;  health, confidence, and endorphin-filled joy is the result after moving.  I adore that.  And my students also feel that joy.

I take my time teaching, yet push the student to improve with humor and patience.

Wether I'm teaching traditional ballet, a combination of pilates and yoga (for exercise), or creative movement, it is always my pleasure to help the student come to the result they are seeking.  It is gratifying for both of us, and we win together!
