Partner dance is my passion! After I moved on from high school theatre, college ballroom dance at LSU became my first love, and I even became a studio teacher after graduating. There I discovered my favorite and now primary dance: West Coast Swing! I’ve been incredibly fortunate in the West Coast world to get to travel, compete, teach, DJ, and more. While I teach and DJ mostly around the Twin Cities nowadays, you can still catch me around the Midwest, or follow my social media to see where I’ll be next!
Through some of the largest events in the world, I’ve competed and won my way up to the Advanced level of West Coast Swing. I’ve taught workshop weekends around the country, helped numerous students find the simple changes they need to succeed, and performed for crowds large and small. But my focus and passion in dance has always been fun, simplicity, and accessibility. I did not start dance as soon as I learned to walk like some, and because of that, I want to help everyone to discover a love of movement! I’ve trained with some of the best teachers in the world - let me help translate that depth of knowledge into sustainable and versatile techniques, no matter your level.
