“Dancing is the great equalizer. It gets people out of their heads and into their bodies. I think if you can dance and be free and not embarrassed you can rule the world. ”
For as long as I can remember, I have been getting people to dance. When I was little and friends would come over to play, I would teach them a dance and then make our mothers sit through a performance before they went home. I love movement and staging and seeing the natural ways that people move their bodies. I am particularly interested in the relationship between dance and the voice -- as in musicals and a cappella singing groups. I love the way our bodies help us sing.
I have worked with high school, college, summer and community theater groups, and youth and adult choruses to create visually stunning performances appropriate to each group. I would love to work with you to bring your musical vision to life.
