My style is fused with contemporary, jazz and hip hop movement. I focus my class on musicality and textures to challenge each dancer to push themselves beyond their limits. Typically the combos will be intricate but also have room for the dancer to put their own uniqueness into the class. I always hope to inspire each dancer that takes my classes!
