Summary

Dynamic and dedicated Professional Dance Instructor with a strong background in teaching and choreographing contemporary classes for children at Avant Dance Studio. Skilled in fostering creativity and collaboration by exceling in organizing and engaging routines while nurturing students' growth and enthusiasm for dance. In addition, I am experienced in both studio, competitive, and ballet dance for the community. By doing so, I apply my personal attributes of passion, dedication and patience to every positive environment. While training with Avant Dance, I continued my training with Munro Ballet Studios and Corpus Christi Ballet; therefore, dancing and performing in auditioned cast roles leading to a great understanding behind the scenes production. As a ballet dancer and instructor, this has allowed me to follow a disciplined lifestyle which I plan to utilize in my future endeavors.
