Additional Information

In addition to my teaching experience with my hometown studio, Head to Toe Dance, I have recently been working with and teaching at J'Adore Dance Intensive to kids from the ages of 7 to 18. This is an intensive created by a group of TTU students and I, where we are able to connect with local dance studios with a smaller repertoire who don't get as much exposure to larger conventions and competitions. We are currently based in Lubbock, Texas, however, are planning on travelling to other cities in Texas this summer of 2024, such as Dallas and Austin.
