Dance Background

I have been dancing in a team and solo setting in all genres of dance since the age of six.

I have had the opportunity to train under highly valued dancers and choreographers in San Diego, CA during an intensive titled Dancer Palooza.

I have worked at a private studio called Studio Twenty-One Elite Training Performance Center.  I have organized dance clinics for all ages.  This includes, choreographing and teaching at these clinics.

I was a four-year varsity member of the Montour Dance Team.  Was captain my junior year, and closely assisted the captains every other year.  

During the 2022/2023 school year, I assisted Coach Stagl at nationals in Florida and at practices.  I co-choreographed and taught the nationals dance routine.
