Biography:

At 7, I started dancing with a background in Ballet, Tap, and Jazz, competing in these styles till the end of high school. Deciding to pursue dance as a career, I started performing at all the theme parks close to home, including Walt Disney World and Universal Studios. From there, traveling and seeing more of the world became a priority, and I used to dance to get there. I worked on a cruise ship dancing many dances in Ballet and Jazz, plus learning new styles in Ballroom. Continuing my travels with dance, I performed at various shows in Tokyo, Guam, Niagra Falls, and Las Vegas, expanding my dance styles to new heights. Deciding to move to Colorado to settle down in the beautiful mountain state, I found the opportunity to teach with FADS and share my love of dance with others.
