My Story

I began dancing at age of 2 and eventually danced competitively. I trained in Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Modern and Hip Hop and was a dance instructor after high school. Then college, career and life took over… Now, as a Health & Clarity Coach I have realized what a void I had without dance. I finally returned to dance, and I now feel at home and challenged physically, mentally and emotionally in a safe and loving space. Home may just be where dancing is because I haven’t felt more complete than I do now.

What TDW Means to Me

Wow… TDW has bridged the gap from my foundation of youth in competitive dancing with my life today.  And boy I did not realize how much of a healthy outlet it was back then, and even more so now! The Dancer's Workout® classes have single-handedly combined complicated choreography with music, exercise and technical movements that truly ground and challenge me.  As one of many adults who grew up with undiagnosed ADHD, looking back I can see how dance was a creative and healthy outlet that kept not only my body, but my mind fully engaged. TDW brings it all together for me as an adult to embody a creative, physical, mental, social and environmental outlet that we were afforded in childhood.  For me personally I can’t even begin to imagine life without dance. I am more confident, happy, and just full of life with my TDW family and feel like this butterfly is truly home.
