STORY:
I started ballet as an adult dancer at 23-years old. I would take drop-in classes and show up to class early and stay late to warm-up and stretch about 4 times a week. I got to a point where I couldn't seem to advance my skillset at an adult drop-in class. I wanted to further understand the details of how to execute each ballet movement cleanly. So 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 4-years. I wanted to advance my knowledge in the fundamental basics of ballet. I have a certification of the Vagnova method from Pre-Ballet to Level 5 from the Bolshoi Ballet Academy.

For starting as an adult ballet dancer, I found it difficult to learn the proper technical aspects of ballet in adult drop-classes without prior knowledge of ballet. 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 when dancing ballet. As an adult dancer, I found it possible to learn and dance ballet with beautiful and clean technique even more-so through the Vagnova method.

Through a hands on approach, I am passionate to instill the Vaganova method in my adult ballet classes. My classes focus on the technical movement of the step and help foster artistry.
