Dance Studio Coaching & Mentorship Program

As a former professional dancer and dance educator, I deeply connect with the inner-workings of being a young dancer. The excitement, the frustrations, the injuries, the rewards, the life. It’s multi-dimensional and encompasses the physical, emotional and mental components simultaneously - all while navigating adolescence and young adulthood.

It has become strikingly evident in recent years that the mental health and wellness of our young dancers is paramount. Integrating somatic, mind-body connection with creative approaches provides dance students with a deeper understanding into themselves, not only as artists but as human beings. It helps them discover who they are inside and out and how to, “find their light.”

I also understand this from the lens of a seasoned dance teacher and choreographer. Shaping young dancers, being a constant creative vehicle and dealing with the generational changes amongst our students can bring up a lot of self-reflection, as a teacher, an artist and a person.

Because of my various vantage points and experience, I am proud to offer integrative coaching workshops to dance studios and performers. My goal is to nurture healthy, well-balanced dancers, teachers and artists on their personal journeys, while providing tools and strategies to support them along the way.

Integrative coaching workshops are available in-person for students and faculty and can be offered as a one day or weekend session.

Individual mentoring is also offered to support individual dance students and teachers and can be scheduled as open-ended, virtual sessions.
