STORY:
I started ballet as an adult dancer at 23-years old. I took drop-in classes regularly about 4-5 times a week for 7-years. Once my teacher retired, I couldn't seem to find a place where I could continue to advance my skillset at an adult drop-in class. I wanted to further understand the details of each ballet movement in order to execute cleanly and confidently. In order to advance my knowledge, I decided to take the Vaganova-method Teacher Training from the Bolshoi Ballet Academy to further refine my skillset. Along my journey, I received a teaching opportunity to teach young figure skaters ballet and have been teaching for 5+ years. I have a certification of the Vaganova method from Pre-Ballet to Level 5 from the Bolshoi Ballet Academy. 

Since starting ballet as an adult dancer, I found it difficult to learn the proper technical aspects in drop-in classes. Now that I have taken teacher training I can share what I have learned to adults who want to refine their posture and learn the artistic and technical qualities of the Vaganova method. I have organized my classes to help students slowly build foundational technique to dance with elegance. As an adult dancer myself, I found more confident in my movement with cleaner technique through the Vaganova method.
