About
In my extensive career as a seasoned choreographer, I have led diverse dance festivals featuring genres such as hip hop, contemporary dance, dance sports, cheer dance, as well as traditional and modern forms. Beyond choreography, I am a dedicated stage performer specializing in spoken word poetry, which brings powerful storytelling and artistic expression to life. I have also trained students in character impersonation and "poetry in motion," helping them build confidence and performative skills that extend well beyond the classroom.
