What are You Doing Now?

After graduating from high school, I attended James Madison University and earned at BA in Theatre and Dance. Then I moved to NYC to dance and pursue musical theater. Now I am teaching full time at a dance studio for young children (ages 18 months to 8 years old) in NYC. I teach ballet, tap and musical theater in the city during the school year and go out to the Hamptons to teach each summer.

Years Danced at SDD:

2011-2012

What is the most valuable lesson you learned at SDD?

During my time at SDD I had an amazing group of friends and fellow dancers! We learned the importance of community, working together and being part of a team.

Advice You’d Give Current Dancers:

Cherish all the moments you have when taking class! Being a student is something we can take for granted when growing up. Enjoy all time you have to learn from your amazing teachers!

Favorite SDD Moment:

My senior year recital!

What’s next, and how can we keep up with your success?
