I am a contemporary choreographer and somatic practitioner. I value athleticism and intellect and use my fitness and academic backgrounds to push the limits of the body/mind strength, connection, and endurance with my fitness training and choreography. Within dance choreography, I create my work through the use of score, contemporary and modern dance/improvisation practices, postmodern ideas of simplicity, and dance as a form of research. As a fitness instructor I prioritize overall mental and physical strength/endurance, joint health, alignment, and fostering a joy of movement at any age.
