Teaching Philosophy
My goal in teaching is to cultivate the inherent artist and intelligent problem-solver that lies within every student. To sustain the lifelong practice of a dance artist, one must be open to continual discovery and integration of new information, as my own experience can affirm. To support this internal and ongoing process of discovery, I ground my classes in clear movement principles, prioritize healthy body mechanics and balanced pacing, utilize a variety of teaching modalities, and cultivate an open and investigatory learning environment.
