HI!

I wear a lot of hats these days!  I am not only a ballet teacher and theater coach, but also a licensed massage therapist of many years, and now a NASM certified personal trainer. 

I started dancing as a very little girl.  My first love was ballet...  Ballet led to other forms of dance in my older teens and eventually to a professional career in London and on Broadway.  There I worked very hard to become a more accomplished singer and actress.  I was very lucky to work with some of the best in the industry.  With this background I began teaching, coaching, directing and choreographing.
