Favorite Ballet Storytime Story
It’s hard to name a favorite, because all of these stories are very close to me… I helped lead a comprehensive update and expansion of our Storytime Curriculum from 2022-2024, so I’m fond of every story for different reasons! Currently, I have a soft spot for Coppélia because of the sweet and playful camaraderie between Swanhilda, Franz, and all of their friends.
Favorite Ballet Step
Just the basics—plié, rélevé, and tendu.
Do you have a go-to animal for inspiration during Animal Dances?
I’m very fond of giraffes, elephants, snails, and all things that fly.
Favorite Thing About Teaching at Tutu School
Tutu School has been a place of many firsts for me… first job offer after college, first full-time position, first contract negotiation, etc. The “first” that remains most special to me, though, is the first opportunity to witness a generation of students progress through the class levels from youngest to oldest (at my previous studio in West Portal). It has been my greatest pleasure to watch some of my oldest students, now 7-9 years old, taking on new challenges with sophistication, confidence, and grace. They are responsible for much of my joy.
