MY WORKSHOPS & CHOREOGRAPHY STYLES
I am an Emmy Award Winner for my work with The Young People's Chorus of New York City (YPC) for their film "Topsy Turvy."
In 2024 YPC won the prestigious "World Champion in The Category of Pop and Choreography" at the World Choir Games in Auckland, New Zealand with a medley on which I was the choreographer.
My "Mixed Bag Jazz" Workshops and master classes include the styles "Jazz Funk" (I define it as Hip-Hop with a blend of modern & ballet technique); lyrical/modern jazz; musical theatre style jazz; the lindy hop/swing.
My Swing Dance Workshops for all levels from novice to pro. No partner necessary.My Dance Workout Workshops get the toning, strength & flexibility going using dance, yoga, & Pilates techniques.
For the stressed out, I offer my StressBusters Guided Meditation which you can see more info here
Choreography for The First Dance, concerts, events, competitions, etc.
Private Lessons for your wedding, or if you have always wanted to learn to dance but classes just intimidate the heck outta ya & you prefer one on one instruction attention with a cool private instructor.
I am a Magna Cum Laude graduate from the Leonard Davis Center for the Performing Arts at City College, & I hold a B.F.A in Dance. I give a Fun and Challenging class with the Emphasis on Musicality and Performance Values.
