I’m a professional dancer with over 10 years of ballroom experience, as well as additional training in other styles like West Coast Swing, ballet, and contemporary.

Ballroom dancing has traditionally been tied to rigid gender roles. While norms are gradually evolving (same-sex couples can now compete!), I’m passionate about helping to speed up this progress in any way I can.

As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I understand the importance of creating a safe and inclusive space for couples of all kinds to learn and enjoy dancing together. It’s essential to embrace diversity and celebrate love in all its forms through dance. Your first dance doesn’t have to follow a traditional lead-follow structure—your dance can and should reflect your unique relationship.

Many couples have told me how stressful wedding planning can be, but they often say our dance lessons are a chance to slow down and reconnect with their partner amidst the chaos. I’ve even had couples tell me they want to keep dancing together long after their wedding is over!

Dancing is a wonderful opportunity to let go, have fun, and learn something new with your partner. I hope, together, we can discover the joy in your dancing—a joy that lasts well beyond your wedding day.
