Choreographer
WHAT I'M ABOUT
It is my mission to find the dancer in everyone, no matter where they place themselves on the dance curve. I want each human to find their own personal joy and journey in the storytelling we bring to the piece, while inspiring self-confidence, discipline and respect of the craft. My Choreo best suits projects that are high-energy, glittery, sexy and fun (think Mamma Mia/Xanadu/Legally Blonde). A colleague once told me I was the "Party Show Choreographer" and I absolutely agree. If you need your show need to feel joyful, sexy and fun- I'm your gal!
