TEACHING

Teaching is deeply woven into my practice and not just something I do on the side. I’ve taught and facilitated movement in studios, universities, community spaces, and professional settings, working with people who come to dance with very different backgrounds, bodies, and experiences.


I don’t teach toward a single aesthetic or outcome. I’m more interested in clarity, pacing, and helping people build trust in their own choices. Structure matters, but it’s there to support agency, not control it. Consent, safety, and attention to how people enter movement are always part of the room.


Alongside teaching movement, I do a lot of work around curriculum design, program development, and mentorship—supporting instructors and artists as they build sustainable practices of their own. For me, teaching and making work are closely connected: both are about shaping how people experience movement, performance, and themselves.
