Summary
I have worked as a professional dancer in New York City for over thirteen years crossing genres from modern to post-modern, opera ballet to tap. My choreography has been presented at dance festivals in New York and Massachusetts, at the Baton Rouge Gallery in Louisiana and is in the repertoire of the New Ballet Ensemble. In 2005, I served as the choreographer-in-residence for the Young Artist Program at the Martha Graham Center of Contemporary Dance. My teaching career began at The Ailey School in New York City and I continue to teach internationally through creative residencies and master classes.
Specialties
Dance performance and production, choreography, teaching dance technique and setting repertory. Served as a Union Delegate from 2002-2004.

123reletive123 what the hell is this you asked? Well this is the most amazing modern dance you will ever see in your life. You're probably too one-dimensional and ignorant to see the beauty and creativity in Martha Graham's work. That's okay, true talent isn't for everyone ;)
