I first tip-toed in a studio at age 3 where my big sister, LeeAnn, was my dance teacher. Dance quickly grew to be my touchstone for most of my life. It taught me discipline, grace, and poise, and has given my soul an expansive outlet of expression. I have been blessed with the privilege of sharing this magic through teaching, and after 13 years of "dreamweaving," I hope to inspire each of my students' individual passions so they can carry their dance knowledge and appreciation for the art with them for a lifetime! I have recently earned a Rhythm Works Integrative Dance Certification to teach children with special needs and I am so excited to see where this new knowledge will lead me and this company! I am so thankful to my wonderful, loving and supportive husband, family, and all my students and their parents for their support, encouragement, and patronage throughout the years! In an age where the arts are being stifled, it is up to us to uphold the vast freedom of movement and expression for our children so that they may become inspired to pass on the arts for generations to come!

With over 20 years of experience in dance, I have developed a deep passion for both performing and teaching. My love for dance, began with my mom, throwing me in a dance class because she wanted me to never be sat back down after being asked to dance. I ended up loving it and wanted to share my love with others. My primary dance styles are jazz, musical theater, and contemporary, and I bring a wealth of knowledge and creativity to every class I teach. I love sharing my passion for dance with my students, inspiring them to explore their own potential. Whether I'm guiding beginners or working with more advanced dancers, my goal is to help each student grow and achieve their personal best.

I began dancing when I was three years old in my hometown of Gainesville, Georgia. I received my foundational classical ballet training at the Gainesville School of Ballet, under the direction of Diane Callahan. In 2021, I was accepted into the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, where I had the privilege to perform major roles in their performances like “The Nutcracker” and “Serenade.” I also had the opportunity to take Dance Pedagogy, where I learned the American Ballet Theater Curriculum. I’ve been teaching since I was 16, and I love being an inspiration to young aspiring dancers. The students bring me so much joy and replenish my love for ballet every time I teach. I’m so excited for my journey with Dreamweaver Dance Company!

I began my teaching journey alongside Leah in 2011, and recently returned to the classroom, bringing with me a diverse background in ballet, tap, musical theater, praise and worship, and contemporary/freestyle dance.
My teaching philosophy centers around collaboration, and I enjoy including my dancers in the choreographic process, empowering them to contribute their own unique styles and ideas. My goal is to foster a supportive, inspiring environment where everyone can find joy and freedom through movement.
I am so excited to be a part of the Dreamweaver Team and can’t wait to see all the magical things we will accomplish together!

I am a dedicated dancer with a deep love for all styles of dance. At Kennesaw State University, where I pursued a minor in dance and developed an unwavering love for the art and the creative outlet it provides.
Dance has been a transformative journey, giving me confidence, discipline, and grace that extend far beyond the studio. My commitment to the art has fostered a strong work ethic and a lifelong desire to continue learning and growing as a dancer.
With experience as a substitute school teacher, I bring valuable skills to working with kids, combining my love for dance with the ability to inspire and teach. My aim is not just to teach your child how to dance, but how to embody the qualities of a dancer.
