Summary
I've danced for nineteen years, during which time I studied various styles, including contemporary, lyrical, jazz, jazz funk, hip hop, heels, tap, ballet, and point. I've now spent six years directing a competition team, choreographing award-winning routines, and guest teaching at multiple studios around the southern states. While still going to Los Angeles and other local studios to train for upcoming professional jobs.
