Teaching style
Dynamic, Engaging, & Ready-to-Use
I believe that dance education should be as innovative as it is structured. My teaching philosophy and the foundation of every resource in my shop is built on three pillars:
Student-Centered Engagement: I create materials that empower dancers to take ownership of their creativity, ensuring your rehearsals and classes are high-energy and productive.
Culturally Relevant Pedagogy: My approach blends traditional discipline with modern, culturally relevant practices that resonate with today’s students (from middle school to the collegiate level).
Empowerment through Structure: I provide the framework (the "boring" logistics) so you and your students can focus on the "magic" (the movement).
When you use my resources, you aren't just getting a lesson plan; you're getting a proven system designed to build confidence, resilience, and a professional work ethic in your dancers.
Awards & shining teacher moments
My commitment to excellence in the classroom has been recognized at the local, state, and national levels. These honors reflect the high standard of quality I pour into every resource I create for you:
Statewide Excellence: Named Dance Educator of the Year and recipient of the Advocacy Award by the South Carolina Dance Association.
National Recognition: Awarded Teacher of the Year by Region XI Magnet Schools of America.
Local Impact: Honored as Teacher of the Year at my home campus.

My own education history
My academic background provides the "why" behind every resource I design. I combine deep technical dance knowledge with advanced pedagogical research to ensure my products work for every student in your studio.
M.Ed. in Divergent Learning (Columbia College): This specialized degree allows me to create resources that reach every type of learner, ensuring your lessons are inclusive, accessible, and effective for diverse classrooms.
B.A. in Dance & K-12 Education Certification (Columbia College): My foundation is rooted in professional dance standards and state-certified teaching methods.
Ongoing Mastery: I am constantly evolving my practice through advanced training in culturally responsive teaching and arts leadership, ensuring my store stays at the forefront of modern dance education.
The Result: When you shop here, you are getting "Divergent Learning" approved tools meaning less time spent modifying lessons or managing behaviors and more time spent dancing.
