TEACHER

Upon receiving a B.F.A in Dance Education from the University of Central Oklahoma, I went on to teach various styles of dance throughout the Midwest and East Coast areas. Under Alan Danielson's mentorship, I studied the Limón technique for a number of years and taught for The Limón Institute in New York City. I have been privileged to work with Avodah Dance, whose mission is to bring creative dance workshops to women in prison. My current interest as a dance teacher is exploring Humphrey/Limón principles within a contemporary dance context. I am currently a Graduate Student Instructor at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Hope to see you in class!

PERFORMER

After graduation, I moved to Houston, TX and danced for Ad Deum Dance Company under the direction of Randall Flinn for three years before moving to New York in 2007. Since then I have danced for choreographers such as Hope Boykin, Nejla Yatkin, Amanda Selwyn, Chris Ferris, Sarah Council, Sue Bernhard, Elisa Schreiber, Kathryn Alter, among others.

CHOREOGRAPHER

I have been interested in making movement since I was a little girl and to this day when the magical forces of time and space come together, I seize the opportunity. My work has been shown in the Amalgamate Artist Series, 60x60 Dance Festival, First Look at The Green Building, Fertile Ground, Duende with Theater in Asylum, Project Dance NYC and more. Recently, I have ventured into the theater world and contributed choreography to #Coriolanus by Theater in Asylum, Daphne directed by Paul Bedard and written by Alice Pencavel, and femme pathos directed by Lacy Post and written by Claire Moodey. My most recent work was my MFA thesis performance at the University of Michigan. I have choreographed anything from church productions to dancing fruit and look forward to future collaborations!
