Summary
I have been dancing since I was 3 years old. I grew up dancing at Dance Concepts, which is a studio in Braintree. I took several dance classes in College, and performed in 2-3 shows a year while at BSC. My senior year, I was the President of the Dance Company and directed a student show of about 100 dancers. Shortly after graduation, my friend started a dance company (Intensity Dance Company) which allowed me to continue to dance for 10 years. I started teaching dance at Duval Dance and Music Academy where I taught for 13 years. Due to my full time job, I made the decision to stop teaching in 2020. Now, I enjoy being a sub for dance classes and doing guest choreography for a couple studios.
