Choreographic Excerpts

Inspire

Traveling the world as both performer and director has informed my life and my teaching in every way. I've had the privilege to work and be mentored by some of the world’s most brilliant artists. On top of these gifts, I have a true passion for teaching and directing, training exquisite professional dancers at the top of their field as well as staging work on dance companies and university students.
