I’m an artist, teacher, and entrepreneur creating special spaces through movement.
When I look back, it's easy to connect the dots that landed me here. As a young person, you'd find me putting on dance concerts in the living room or gathering friends on the playground to make up song parodies. I've always felt my best when creating or collaborating.
I was born and raised in Mankato, Minnesota and here I have stayed. The community here has been supportive of many of my artistic endeavors and continues to surprise me with new connections. I have also had the pleasure of teaching dance in France, Ireland, England, Canada, and places throughout the United States.
My mission as mover and groover is to explore weird worlds and take you with me. As a teacher, I find purpose in bringing you a spark of creative possibility, a community that embraces your uniqueness, and a confidence that yes, you can dance and make magic.
Currently, I am focused on: teaching weekly classes in person again (finally!!) while growing our little community, creating MuVI projects, collaborating with cool peeps, and being Director of Shenanigans™ at Fly Fusion. I have an ambivalent relationship with social media but sometimes I share what I'm up to on Insta :)
