“My desire is to be an auxiliary support to you on your dancing journey. There were so many times as a young dancer when I found myself frustrated, uncertain, and lacking in confidence. My goal is to meet you where you are and be your ally; to help you overcome the trouble spots in your training, encourage you, and assist you in achieving the goals you have set for yourself.”
