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!
