"You have to love dancing to stick to it. It gives you nothing back, no manuscripts to store away, no paintings to show on walls and maybe hang in museums, no poems to be printed and sold, nothing but that fleeting moment when you feel alive" - Merce Cunningham

Discovered Dance When...
I took my first Gotta Dance class at the age of 3 years old, but I did not truly discover dance until I was 12 or 13, when I first had Miss Kimberly.
You'd Be Surprised to Know That ...
I am also a yoga teacher!
Wishes
I hope to inspire my students like my teachers at Gotta Dance inspired me
