Summary
I am a dedicated dancer and teacher from Australia with a strong work ethic and an even stronger passion for dance. I have a deep love for both classical and contemporary techniques, with a particular focus on safe dance practices. In my classes, I aim to create an inclusive environment where students can grow as dancers while building a sense of community. I am a professional dance artist working as a performer, mentor, and teacher, and this multifaceted experience informs every aspect of my practice. My personal practice is informed by somatic approaches, improvisation, ballet, and a variety of contemporary techniques including Cunningham technique, Flying Low, and contact improvisation. These experiences shape my teaching style and help me support dancers in developing both technical skill and creative expression.
