GAIN THE FREEDOM TO

Dance like you

ABOUT

  My childhood dance memories include: ethereal scarves in the tropical backyard, honky-tonk shuffling in the Florida keys with my little sister, and living room expression sessions accompanied by my mother's soulful record collection. 

 

In adolescence I discovered modern dance and formed a company with willing dancers from the cheerleading squad and drama department. We practiced in the gym and made dances to New Order and The Cure. 

 

Next came Bennington College with challenging and fulfilling classes in technique, improvisation and choreography. On campus meadows I felt imprints from dancestors.

 

Following those magical years in Vermont, the theatre held my heart in San Francisco, New York and Seattle until I began to weave the work of education and the arts. Through it all, dance remained a source of delight and connection.

My training and experience is in Modern, Nia Technique, WildCore and Soul Motion. Teachers who have created space for me to evolve are: the Bennington Dance Faculty of the late 1980's and early 1990's, Chris Daigre, Dina Love, Vincent Martinez-Grieco, the dancers from Full Life Care, Leilani Farr, Brietta Leader, Carmen Felicia Forsman and the women I dance with on weeknights in my sneakers.
