“I always enjoyed dancing as a kiddo performing here and there at family events, but I knew I loved dancing starting in high school where I was the captain for our school dance team for 3 years. I took a long break from dance, then started taking it more seriously at the end of 2018 when I found OOS. Since then, I founded Saturday Mornings @saturdaymorns, co-founded SNACKPACK Dance Collective @snackpackdance, and currently train with New Age Theatrics @newagetheatrics. I also completed several dance/business/leadership programs including: WFH by Youran and Myke, TDLP by David Lee, LTDL by Arnel Calvario, and ABBD by Sorah Yang.”

OOS: How would you describe your dance style?

If you had to describe my style, it would be full-body, flowy, sillygoofyfun!

OOS: What are your dance goals as a mentor?

My main dance goal as a Mentor is to always remind students to have FUN, and to move as their most genuine, authentic selves.

OOS: What will your students learn or experience in your class?

My main focus in every class (aside from all the technical/mental advice + tips) will always be to have fun! Dance can be so discouraging if you aren’t in the right mental space, so I am a firm believer that as long as you are having fun, growth is inevitable.
