I am a former professional ballet dancer with American Ballet Theatre (ABT), and I am still performing on a freelance basis. I believe that even though ballet has a tradition of being very strict and serious, children need a nurturing learning experience so that they can develop internal confidence and mental strength in addition to perfecting their technique. I strive to bring that level of support and coaching when teaching ballet students.

I am a former professional ballet dancer with American Ballet Theatre (ABT), and I am still performing on a freelance basis. I believe that even though ballet has a tradition of being very strict and serious, children need a nurturing learning experience so that they can develop internal confidence and mental strength in addition to perfecting their technique. I strive to bring that level of support and coaching when teaching ballet students.
I have worked with children on and off for all of my adult life, including teaching ballet to kids 4-12 years old for two years. As a dancer and a teacher, I am known for my discerning eye for ballet technique, musicality and detail-oriented and warm communication style.
I want the students I work with to believe that even though ballet is incredibly hard, they still can achieve whatever they are striving for with a balance of hard work and a deep-seated belief in themselves. And, to have fun along the way! Feel free to contact me with any questions or to schedule a lesson!
