As an educator of dance, my philosophy is centered around cultivating a learning environment that is rich and explorative. I believe that dance has the power to reframe how a student thinks and learns. I hope to foster physical, emotional, mental, and social growth through dance. I aim to create a positive learning environment by teaching beyond the content and catering to individual's unique experiences, interests, and needs. I strive to teach beyond the knowledge of steps and inspire creativity and authenticity within dance practices.
