Teaching, like dance, is multilayered. I see my role as engaging students intellectually, physically, and emotionally — inviting curiosity and self-awareness rather than the rote transmission of information. I love stepping into the room and getting students excited, rigorously invested, and euphorically exhausted.

​

My approach draws on Enghauser's ecosomatic pedagogy (sensing from the inside out, non-authoritarian facilitation, artistic voice), Risner & Anderson's ideas on technology and digital dance literacy, and thinkers like Holt, Kohl, and hooks, who've shaped how I think about intrinsic motivation, resistance in the classroom, and power dynamics.

I want my students to become intelligent interpreters of movement and self-possessed in their choices — generous in how I demonstrate, clear in how I articulate, and consistent, patient, and attentive in building their trust. I hold everyone to a high standard while staying committed to their process.
