What do you want people to get from your class?

I want people taking my class to feel strong, beautiful, and fearless.

What motivates you to dance?

My passion for dance. Dancing makes me feel joy and life. Dancing also helps me build great friendships. Working hard days and nights to put on a great performance for an audience of 1,000 people really brings us together.

What are some highlights of your career as a dancer/choreographer?

Every time people come to me saying how much they enjoy the class is a highlight to me as a choreographer. It’s such a proud moment to see people overcome the obstacles, slay my choreography and shine as beautiful dancers on stage.
