D/M TEACHING

I am an individual with a physical disability; therefore, I do not demonstrate every movement. I am an educator who focuses on the relationship between the dancer, themselves, and their audience. Dance technique will always be a core foundation; however, I concentrate on musicality and execution. 

If I had to explain my style, it would be Commercial.

Commercial: Conveying emotion for the sole purpose of influencing an audience in a particular direction; television, film, social media, live-staged works, etc. The music dictates the movement. Typically, my combinations fall into the Jazz Funk category for upbeat or contemporary for downbeat.
