I have been instructing dance/fitness classes for adults and youth for over 20 years. I am a NASM certified personal trainer. I combine dance and specialized core and stretch exercises in a fun and accessible class. I work with beginning to advance level students. I design dance and fitness classes to meet the specific needs of each individual or group. My dance background is based in Afro Latin Jazz, Modern and Hip Hop. Being physically fit is a great self-esteem and confidence booster. I have choreographed for the 5th Avenue Theatre: HAIR, The Wizard of Oz; The Village Theatre: Once on This Island; Broadway Bound Children's Theater: High School Musical, Dreamgirls, Grease, FAME, Little Shop of Horrors; Seattle Theatre Group: Dance this.... I continue to instructed dance/fitness classes to K-12 grade youth in public and private schools all over the county. One of the most satisfying accomplishments is working one on one with adults who have physical limitations from injury and designing a fitness program that helps them with daily functional activities. Another is watching youth gain confidence and self esteem from learning and performing a dance routine with their peers. I feel dance and its health benefits should be apart of everyday life.
