Artist Statement 

As a dancer, I have trained in a wide variety of traditional techniques such as tap, hip-hop, jazz, modern, ballet, and contemporary. I have felt that each genre gave me something that I couldn't dance without. Each genre taught me so much that it can be translated into other genres but also helps each dancer form their unique style. As a dancer, I value versatility and growth. I push myself to continue to learn and try to be a better version of myself because I am never done being a student myself. As an artist, I enjoy choreographing hip-hop and contemporary movement phrases, but I love the art of fusing genres. When I improvise, I feel that the audience can see my versatility through my movements because I love combining all of what I have learned and meshing it together. My passion is to teach young, developing dancers my knowledge and assist them in achieving their goals. I strive to ensure my students are enjoying the art of dance while developing their voices.
