“Dancing is the best way I know to fully express myself. I love to inspire audiences with my dancing and the stories I tell through my movement. Music truly moves and motives my organic movement qualities and intention. I strive to be a dynamic and exciting dancer with contagious emotionality and connectivity.
In creating dance, I strive to externalize the internal. I achieve this by inventing intricate, athletic movement that is highly musical and expressive. I couple these aspects with a narrative through-line to compose a smoothly-threaded story or symbolic metaphor through physical movement, props, or visual media that evokes emotion and thoughtfulness from the audience, and makes a statement. I aim to make work that is aesthetically intriguing and stimulating by fusing detailed contemporary movements with technical dance elements. My strong tap background allows and inspires me to truly appreciate and use the rhythms and accents within a piece of music, which is evident in both my contemporary and tap choreography. I am planting the seed for a hybrid of multiple dance genres, which I call ‘conTAPorary’. As a versatile choreographer, I am focused on inventing an exciting fusion of my diverse dance passions and vocabularies.”
