My hope is that students leaving my class will feel empowered on the journey to revealing their own unique light. I believe we all have gifts to share and sometimes you just need the space, tools and encouragement to bring it out.

COMING SOON

"I hope students will remain forever curious and keep exploring body & movement and realize that there are several ways one can approach movement in order to "achieve" certain steps, movements, positions, ideas, goals... I hope everyone keeps using imagery, think of sounds, see it all as a mind-body game that allows you to "play" and discover."

"Dance is joy!"

"Blaze your own trail and follow the career that most excites you, not the one people expect of you or you expect of yourself."

"When in doubt, trust your inner compass to guide you on your highest path."
 

"You are not JUST dancers. You have a voice and can use that instrument to tell a story just as much as you can your bodies when you dance."

"I hope students will feel new joy, be aware that every moment is a choice, and experience greater empowerment over their lives."

"Always be the student. "Yes and" yourself and always listen and be present. The key word is play."

​

"Be aware when you are judging. Getting past the binary of good and bad into a space of expression and artistic freedom."

"In taking my class, it's my hope that students approach dance and movement differently. In 5 years from now, I hope they still approach move and dance from connection and understanding to a movement form."

"I hope students remember that mental resilience and well-being are best crafted with curiosity, compassion, and connection. And with that knowledge, they practice those skills every day as they make choices, frame their experiences, and expand their identity and belief in who they are. And if nothing else, I hope they feel seen, heard, and taken seriously."

​

​

"I hope they remember feeling safe and having a wonderful time in my class. That our relationship doesn't have to end after the Bridge and I will always be there to help in any way I can. I hope they're motivated to try everything and anything."

"I hope students leave my class feeling empowered to take up space in the dance field. Too often we, as dancers, are made to feel as though we are just a number, instead of the full, complex, unique individuals that we are. I want students to remember that they have agency over their bodies and voices, and that their identities belong in any and every space."

​

"My hope is that students will have a felt sense of safety and belonging within my classroom setting. Through a blend of self-regulating techniques and somatic awareness practices, students will be invited towards more self-compassion, trust, and embodiment, all encouraging a cultivation of greater autonomy in their work and personal lives."

"I hope that they will learn to listen to, honor, and treat their bodies kindly."

"Your unique imagination has power, it can be applied to anything and it’s enough to change the world for good"

"My hope is to help students feel more connected to their physical form and empowered to research the endless ways the body is capable of expressing itself"

"Movement is a healing modality that we can access any time, any place. My hope is that students build an ever-deepening relationship with their specific instrument that allows them to drop into moments of radical joy and embodiment."

"I hope they will each have their own consistent meditation practice that is supporting noticeable changes within themselves. From concentration, to health, to kindness towards themselves and others, I hope they have an embodied experience of how these practices transform their life over time."

"My hope is that the students I had the opportunity to teach would remember how to find joy in exploring their instruments, takeaway an understanding of the idea that with mindful repetition comes the opportunity for great change, and would try seeing ballet as a meditation meant for EVERY BODY and EVERYBODY."
