Dance with Clarity, Confidence and Connection

I work with dancers of all levels through private lessons, group classes, performances, and curated events.

My approach blends clear instruction, musical awareness, and real social-dance experience—helping students feel confident on the floor, not just memorize steps.

With foundations in hip hop and ballroom and a deep passion for Argentine tango, my work spans social dance, performance, and national events—serving dancers in Detroit and beyond.
