Classes:
My classes are an experience that of course works on the technical aspect of ballet, but also about “how” you move and “why” you move. It’s just as important for me that everything is done correctly, but there needs to be a reason for it at the same time.
I integrate Pop Music in my ballet classes to feel different tones and textures; to draw out different emotions for the student. I want my students to feel as if they are performing in the class. To draw something out of them that maybe they possibly didn’t think they had inside of them.
