New Choreography!

Recently, I choreographed three more solos for dancers at my studio. I choreographed a contemporary piece for my sister and a contemporary and jazz solo for another student of mine, Rena. I can't wait to see how they do at competitions and see them bring my visions to life!

Design for Dance Internship

Over the summer of 2016, I was lucky to have been given the opportunity to work with Robin Zander and Katherine Hill as an intern for Design for Dance, an organization that works to enhance productivity and employee well being at work through dance. I spent the majority of my time typing up white papers (research papers) documenting solutions for specific problems and creating surveys for work employees. I have learned so much from this experience, learning how to use organizational psychology to develop the best possible outcomes, and it has certainly added to my knowledge about the business world!

Hall of Fame Nationals 2016

The week of July 2nd, I traveled with my studio to Las Vegas for Hall of Fame's national dance competition! I ended up placing third overall with my solo, Silence, and qualified to compete in the Solo Showdown. My duet, Woman's Work, placed 1st and won the duet showdown! I was so incredibly excited -- our hard work definitely paid off!
