Teaching has been one of the defining threads in my life since I became a certified Pilates instructor at 25. Along the way, it has led me to teach contemporary dance, hip-hop, and contact improvisation, and to work with an wide range of people, from children with visual impairments and young people with developmental disabilities to older adults with Parkinson's disease, professional dancers, and complete beginners.
Whether I'm teaching Pilates, dance, or a specialized workshop, what I enjoy most is helping people become more at home in their bodies and discover new possibilities for movement.

Here’s what you can expect in a dance class with me:
- A contemporary-based warm-up rooted in somatics, sensation, and expansive movement exploration
- Improvisation, both solo and contact
- Freedom to move in both new and familiar pathways
- Encouragement to take risks in your physicality
- Accessing parts of ourselves not usually included in dance class—our faces and voices included—to open up new modes of expression
- Depth via lightness and laughter
- Strength via release
- Confidence via connection
- Precision via play
Pilates: Awareness into Movement
Pilates is a practice of building strength through awareness. Classes explore the relationship between breath, alignment, and movement, developing a deeper sense of connection to the body. Through focused and precise exercises, we work toward greater stability, mobility, and ease, creating strength that supports both everyday movement and more demanding physical practices.
