What inspired me to teach?
When I was in Grade 1 I knew I wanted to be a Dance teacher. My parents initially enrolled me in skating which I decided I didn’t love but am but am forever grateful they experimented with me and had me try dance. I fell in love and knew that a dancer was part of who I am. I am so grateful that I now get to share my passion with others for a living!
Why do I teach?
I teach because I absolutely LOVE to move and enjoy connecting with others through movement/strive to make a difference in their lives through sharing that passion. Ultimately, I find it tons of fun and it’s a way for me to go with the flow/not take myself too seriously!
What do I teach?
Parented Strength & Tumbling and Zumba
Fun Fact
I love patterns! Most of my workout pants will have a funky pattern on them.
