The Vision
"To create a positive lasting impression on those around me. Growing up in dance, I understand how toxic and detrimental specific spaces can be for young children who are deep in their development. As I have grown and moved on from these years, I strive to be a safe and grounding person that students, peers, teachers or classmates can come to. My overall vision is to contribute towards dance spaces in an affirmative and uplifting manner and break the stigmatizations surrounding negativity within the classroom or performance space."
The Mission
"To create a space that not only welcomes comfortability, but also playfulness and experimentation. When inside the classroom with me, you are a dancer - no matter how far along you are in your journey. As a fresh college graduate and young evolving woman, I strive to help pave roads for individuals to deepen their relationship with movement, while simultaneously understanding the political importance of expressing themselves freely."
