Artistic Statement:

​

As an artist, I have a profound responsibility in this world to inspire creativity within my community, and to share my passion of movement with every person I can. I am a risk taker when it comes to my craft, and I am not afraid to push the boundaries to discover something new about myself. Dance is about constant exploration and for me, there is nothing more exciting than allowing yourself to use this exploration to unlock your fullest potential. I am personally drawn to the raw, organic side of dance, and I know that this aspect is reflected through my individualized style when dancing. That being said, my style could be described as a unique blend of strong, technical foundations with a huge influence stemming from the abstract and obscure ways of moving the body. Growing up, I trained vigorously in modern, jazz, and ballet. My dancing has also taken heavy impact from music, nature, and human connectivity, which allows me to provide a different narrative to what dancing can feel like to the person performing and to the person observing. I have been working at perfecting my instrument and its sound for nearly two decades, and I know that my hard work and dedication has paid off. My approach to dance has always been entirely humanistic, and I have forever used dancing as a way to communicate my truth to others. I seek to not only entertain audiences when I dance, but to have them feel connected to what I am offering on a deeper, more personal level. Personally, I find that this is the most rewarding thing about being a dancer.
