My journey began at the ETA Cultural Center on the Southside of Chicago.



In 2008, I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance Performance from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. It was there that my passion for guiding mature aspiring dancers was born. I credit the art and technique of ballet for nurturing me into a woman full of confidence, strength and tenacity, able to overcome any obstacle placed before me. My desire to empower students with this same glass-ceiling-shattering motivation is what drives me.



We transform lives through movement, helping people gain the courage, discipline, and confidence to release their personal barre and choreograph their greatest performance on life’s stage — living their purpose.
We remain committed to the health and well-being of our dancers and community. Learn more
