As the summer turns into autumn, as colors change and leaves begin fall, I am reminded over and over again at how my work as a dancer and teacher has continued to change and develop over the years. We each grow and develop at our own pace; every new piece of information gained presents itself with its own set of challenges and goals to accomplish. As a teacher and communicator of the body, I love to challenge students and then see when something finally “clicks” for them or when the “light bulb turns on” and they understand in a new way. This summer I did a great deal of work on the Pilates reformer and I am so eager to share the new discoveries I made with my students. I have a passion for biology and really enjoy working to help students understand their bodies in an anatomical and kinesthetic way. I am so excited to be teaching for my third year at DEC and feel so blessed by the many students and families that I have been able to work with!
