More About Me
I began dancing when I was 17 years old. I quickly found that I had a passion for ballroom and shortly thereafter joined the competitive circuit. For four years I competed in ballroom dance collegiately for Purdue University and then UNC – Chapel Hill. My love for ballroom continued to grow during my time competing. I took every opportunity I could to dance which shortly led me into a professional teaching position. After years of intense studying, competing, training, and coaching, I now teach over 30 different styles of dance.
During my years of competitive and professional ballroom dance experience, I began to realize that dance, more than being entertaining, is an incredibly powerful form of expression. Dance allows you to feel things about yourself and about the world around you that you may have never experienced before. It allows you to express yourself in a genuine, meaningful way simple words just can't.
Perhaps most importantly, I have come to realize that dance is a medium through which you can release stress, anger, frustration, sadness, turmoil, uncertainty, and depression, along with many other emotions. Dance encourages you to understand yourself, to acknowledge and engage with your emotions, and find healing to grow past longstanding obstacles.
I have founded Move with Grace with these ideas in mind. In learning how to dance, I put great emphasis on the comfort of my students. We all have different pasts we’ve overcome, challenges we face, and goals we hope to achieve. I believe that ballroom dance is an art which can facilitate great change in the lives of individuals, and it is to this end that I now teach one of the world’s oldest art forms.
I'm Looking For
Looking for a partner who is dedicated to practicing and improving ballroom technique,stamina, etc...and potentially someone with whom I could compete.
