Favorite Ballet Storytime Story
My favorite ballet story has always been The Nutcracker. I grew up performing in it year after year, and that tradition made me fall in love with the story. It’s tied to so many special memories—and the fact that it’s set during Christmas makes it feel even more magical!
Favorite Ballet Step
I love teaching battements! One of my favorite ways to make them fun is by using props like our magic wands, to tap our toes as we kick. It’s a playful way to keep dancers engaged while building good technique!
Do you have a go-to animal for inspiration during Animal Dances?
Dancing like a bunny and practicing our bunny hops are always a favorite!
Favorite Thing About Teaching at Tutu School
Tutu School is special to me because I get to share the magic of dance with young ballerinas. I love inspiring them to explore the world of ballet and all the wonderful opportunities it can bring—while making sure we have fun every step of the way.
