About Me

“Sound first – movement after finding my voice .”

I have always been drawn to the sound and movement of tap dance. Each sound is intentional and each movement is a choice, together forming a language that allows me to express what words cannot. I thrive in this balance between structure and freedom. Where rhythm demands precision and accountability, and movement invites interpretation, nuance, and individuality. Within this tension, I find clarity, curiosity, and space to explore my own voice as an artist.

My work as a choreographer is grounded in musicality, approaching it as if I am another instrument. I view choreography as a collaboration with the music, the dancers, and the audience. Watching dancers embody and bring life to a vision that once lived only in my head is one of the most rewarding parts of my practice.

My relationship to tap dance is rooted in listening. Over time, I have come to experience tap not only as music and movement, but as a living piece of history. As a tap dancer, I carry a sense of responsibility to the tap masters who paved the way. To understand how their lives, their struggles, and their resilience are embedded in the art form. Engaging with archival footage and seeking mentorship from descendants of the masters continues to connect me to the lineage. The tap community has always made me feel seen and supported, offering a sense of belonging that can be hard to find elsewhere. Festivals, in particular, feel like home—places where dancers from around the world gather to share, learn, and connect. These spaces have shaped not only my artistry, but my values, and these values guide everything I do.
