ABOUT ME

I grew up in the bustling suburbs of Chicago Il. I braved and concurred that beautiful city in my high school career. I believe my life really started after High school. Beginning with learning to Lindy hop, and learning that I had this talent my whole life but never used it until 18. Though even at a young age I was infatuated with movement. I would draw dancers, musicians, artists in motion. Create paintings around the movement of an object.
At the same time I began dancing, I also started serious schooling in vocal performance, studying opera at a local college. After 2 years of music training I decided I wanted to go into Makeup Design, moved my life to Vancouver BC Canada and studied for a year of makeup boot camp. I pick education that will develop my personal self as opposed to my career. Which is why I am a Jane of all trades.
Now, living in Seattle I dance and teach as often as I can. I love to develop my skill so that I can help develop dance in others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't believe I have done or seen enough to know yet.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach dance regularly in Seattle. Particularly Lindy hop, East coast swing, Blues dancing, and West coast swing. I also love to learn new dances.
I have been painting and drawing since I was old enough to hold a pencil and love to share my knowledge of the art with others.
