There is never a dull moment in class! Each specific class and lesson plan are catered to specific age groups from Pre-K to adults. They consist of engaging movement activities, warm-up, and complex movement combinations. I am an energetic and patient teacher who seriously takes into account the needs and skill level of the student in preparing the lesson plans and material. I teach hip hop, ballet, contemporary, and percussive dance.

My use of dance vocabulary and physical demonstrations allow me to teach the material accurately and effectively. My positive attitude and constant words of encouragement keep students motivated and engaged in the lesson. Students will increase their knowledge and physical vocabulary of the movement style and leave each lesson a better dancer, performer and person.

I encourage students to bring writing materials to each lesson to take notes for any learned vocabulary and each lesson will follow with a recorded video of the movement for the students to refer to until the next lesson.

All Private Sessions Include/Cover:
-1-on-1 lesson including a warm-up, body conditioning, stretching, & cool down
-Recordings of Movement Material
-Music Playlist Listing
-Copy of the Teacher Lesson Plans
-Written Log of Corrections and Improvements​​

(BELOW VERSION ENGLISH)

I offer Pilates, Yoga and Dance classes, given on an occasional or regular basis, depending on the needs and desires of the participants.
Each class is tailored to the participants, their level, and their goals: it may focus on strengthening and posture (Pilates), mobility, breathing, and relaxation (Yoga), or exploring movement, coordination, and body expression (Dance). It is also possible to combine several disciplines within the same class for a more comprehensive and personalized approach.
My teaching emphasizes:
body awareness,
the quality of the movement,
breathing,
listening to and respecting each person's body.
The sessions can be gentle or dynamic, technical or creative, and are designed to suit both beginners and more experienced practitioners. The goal is to offer a safe and supportive space to move, strengthen, relax, and reconnect with your body.
