I find passion in sharing everything I’ve learned through my dance experience as a student and a professional. More than that though, I love supporting these kids from the time they enter the studio to the time they graduate. I can’t imagine a better place to do all of this than Above The Barre Dance Academy. 

I have a passion for dance that I want to instill in my students. I have a passion for art that I hope they learn to love. And I have a passion to perform and make others around me successful.

Parents often ask me what keeps me coming back. The answer is easy. Seeing a dancer smile when they finally figure out the right step. Consulting them when they are sad because they had a hard day. And, the joy in their face as they light up the stage. 

My greatest job in working with children is watching them grow and inspiring them to do great things. There is nothing more humbling than when a student graduates and becomes a teacher or a coach because I inspired them. What they don’t realize is their hard-work and determination inspire me. 

I have been dancing since the age of two and my love and passion for dance has only kept growing. I have danced at the recreational, competitive, and collegiate levels and I am so excited to have the opportunity to be able to share my knowledge with the students at Above the Barre Dance Academy, and to be able to help each student learn and grow in their own dance careers. I am thrilled to share my love and passion for dance with each student and to create new and exciting memories in the dance studio.

Having this opportunity to teach all of your little children is incredible. I want to be an encouraging teacher that keeps their love and passion for dance growing like all my teachers have done for me.

I believe in positivity, family and creativity! All key elements of dance. 

As an instructor, attention to detail ranks on the top of my list. The slightest change in a head position, arm, or breathe can make the movement that much more powerful. The greatest feeling comes when all the pieces work together: passion, strength, weakness, determination, confidence, discipline, demand, physicality, mentally, and heart. That is what I take pride in....that, is ballet. 

Here at ATB I hope my students learn the most important thing is to be kind and respectful to each other and love oneself. They will also learn the harder you work, the farther you will go. Combine that with technique and dedication and it’s combination made for success!

I love the opportunity to work with young dancers at ATB. My passion is coaching individuals, young and mature, to help each one of them reach their highest potential through sports, activities, lifestyle and health. 

Knowing I played a role in helping these kids achieve their goals is indescribable. I hope my students learn dance, but even more, I hope they learn to do it while having fun. That’s all that matters!

Most of the time you’ll see me working in the office at ATB - a job I really enjoy. But on competition weekends, you’ll see me in my favorite role, being a mom to my ATB dancer.

ATB was our families dream and together we created this environment which is rich in culture, passion, outstanding teaching and most of all love.
