Teaching & Professional Background
For more than 30 years, I have had the privilege of teaching dancers throughout Georgia and beyond, working with students ranging from recreational dancers to pre-professional artists, company members, and competitive dancers.
Today, I proudly serve on the faculty of On Stage School of Dance, Georgia Dance Unlimited, and Turning Pointe School of Dance, while also traveling as a guest ballet educator, offering master classes, workshops, and private coaching for dancers and studios throughout the Southeast.
Throughout my career, I have also taught at numerous respected studios, building lasting relationships with studio owners, directors, teachers, dancers, and families who share a commitment to quality ballet education.
Earlier in my career, I earned certifications in Pilates through the PhysicalMind Institute and the GYROTONIC® system. Although I no longer teach Pilates, that training continues to influence my understanding of alignment, body mechanics, efficient movement, and injury prevention—principles that remain at the heart of every ballet class I teach.
My Teaching Philosophy
I believe every dancer has the ability to grow when they are given the right guidance, encouragement, and environment.
My teaching is rooted in strong classical ballet technique while emphasizing body awareness, musicality, artistry, confidence, discipline, and character. I strive to help dancers understand not only how to do something, but why it matters.
Whether I'm teaching a company class, coaching a private lesson, or leading a guest workshop, my goal is always the same—to challenge dancers, encourage them, and help them discover potential they may not yet see in themselves.
Every correction is given with purpose.
Every class is taught with intention.
Every dancer matters.
Movement with Purpose. Training with Heart.
