Vogue Dance Aficionado and Instructor. Sharing the Art and Essence of Vogue with Passion and Precision! Let's Strut, Pose, and Slay Together!

As a young dancer, into a competitive teen dancer and later a professional dancer of stage, film and tv, I always was told that my body type would never find a place in this industry of performing arts. This would crush me every time, so I decided to redirect my love for dance arts and created my own academy. Performing gave me a freedom unlike any other art form I have ever experienced and I wanted to pass that love on. Here is when you get to be part of my dream, teaching dance and opening my own academy creating ADA 6 years ago was not only a goal, but a mission. My goal is to guide dance enthusiasts with respect , proper training, positive reinforcement and passion. It would be fantastic to talk about awards and accolades, which I can, I will, but I believe it’s more important to talk about HOW you feel while dancing and letting go of fears and shyness. Be You!

Dance is an art, but it's also an adventure—one that should be enjoyable, uplifting, and brimming with discovery. For me, dance embodies this philosophy, and teaching dance isn't just about steps; it's about crafting moments of joy, movement, and growth. Over my teaching journey, I've found immense fulfillment in helping people learn exciting and graceful dance steps while ensuring they have an absolute blast during the process. Navigating the intricacies of dance might seem challenging, but I firmly believe that every move can be learned and appreciated when approached with the right blend of patience, guidance, and enthusiasm. My teaching style embraces this ethos—whether it's those intricate and challenging moves or the simpler, delightful steps, every moment is an opportunity to learn and enjoy. Patience is my virtue; I am dedicated to repeating and refining moves until you master them. Creating an environment where students revel in the learning process is paramount to me. It's about building confidence, nurturing creativity, and ensuring that each dance class is a delightful experience. Let's dance, learn, and enjoy the magic of movement together!
