My journey in dance began at the age of 5 at the Tessa Williams School of Ballet in Spokane. After years of dedicated training, I left on scholarship as a young teen to study at a Professional Performing Arts School back East. Now, I’m thrilled to have returned home, bringing with me a wealth of experience gathered from my time studying, performing, and teaching across various vibrant cities, including New York and the San Francisco Bay Area.
Throughout my career as a performer and teacher, I have been fortunate to guide numerous students who have gone on to achieve their professional aspirations in the dance world. I feel incredibly blessed to share my passion for dance, nurturing the next generation of artists while creating a positive impact in our community.
We offer a variety of programs to meet the diverse needs and interests of our students:
- Pre-Professional Program: Designed for aspiring dancers looking to pursue a career in dance, this program offers intensive training and performance opportunities to help students hone their skills and artistry.
- Recreational Program: This program is perfect for those who wish to enjoy dance for fun and fitness. It provides a welcoming environment where students of all ages can explore ballet and other dance styles at their own pace.
- Adult Program: Our Adult Ballet Classes cater to new and returning dancers alike, offering a chance to discover or rediscover the joy of dance in a supportive environment. Many students join with family members, creating a sense of community and connection.
- Private Coaching: Private coaching is a popular option for those seeking individual attention to refine their technique and artistry in ballet, acting, musical theatre, vocals, piano, and choreography. Private lessons are available for all ages, allowing for tailored instruction that meets the unique needs of each student.
As our program continues to grow, we remain focused on creating an inclusive environment where everyone can explore their creativity and develop their skills, whether for fun or a professional path.
We believe in the power of the arts to transform lives and communities. That’s why we actively participate in local events, offer scholarships, and provide opportunities for students to perform in front of an audience. Engaging with the community helps build connections and inspires the next generation of artists.
As we expand our offerings, I’m excited about the future. My vision is to create a nurturing space where everyone, regardless of their skill level, can experience the joy of dance and the performing arts. I aim to continue cultivating talent and creativity in Spokane while supporting students in achieving their personal and artistic goals.
The journey has been incredible, and I’m grateful to be back home, sharing my love of dance and the arts with the next generation. Together, we will continue to explore, learn, and grow in this beautiful world of dance and performance.
