Favorite Ballet Storytime Story
My favorite ballet story is Sleeping Beauty! It is a perfect blend of magic, love, and good vs. evil.
Favorite Ballet Step
My favorite ballet step is turns! I love performing any type of turns and seeing the joy on dancer's faces when they learn to do pirouettes.
Do you have a go-to animal for inspiration during Animal Dances?
My go-to animal is a flamingo!
Favorite Thing About Teaching at Tutu School
What I love most about Tutu school is the magical environment it creates for young dancers. Ballet is so special to me and I love being able to teach and share this passion with younger dancers!
