Choreography
Welcome to my choreo page! I am a trained dancer of 18+ years (and counting!) who has had the privilege to teach students of all ages at local studios in Salina, KS, Decatur, IL, and Chicago, as well as choreograph for my peers during my time at Millikin. I have experience teaching a wide range of ages and skill sets, from 3 year-olds to college grads. I have taught classes focusing on ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop, musical theatre, pre-pointe/pointe, pom/drill team, and modern/lyrical. I have choreographed for dance teams, studios, private lessons/solos, ensembles, weddings, theatre prescreens, and for myself! I also love being a visiting masterclass instructor for local studios!
My senior year of college, I applied and was chosen as the Senior Choreographer for Solstice: A Concert of Dance in the Fall of 2023, which I created the piece "Choices" (see below). It was an honor to work along side faculty as we held auditions for our select ensemble, in which my dancers were chosen from.
Currently, I am teaching at McFetridge Dance Studio in Chicago, where I teach weekly classes for youth dancers and adults! I have been choreographing selections for our production of The Nutcracker. We will soon begin working toward recital.
I would love to work with you and your dancers, whether as a guest choreographer or a studio staff member! Please download my resume for more information!
