Here are some photos from Movement 2. This movement is about falling in love, fears creeping in and taking you off balance but returning to the love.

12 —— MONTHS —— OF CHOREO

I am soooo excited to get to share the first dance in my project: 12 Months of Choreo! I will be creating a dance each month —— 12 in 2021! I get a month to choreograph, perform and shoot the work and then the following month to edit it, sort out logistics & share! I've been dancing my whole life but not choreographing .... sharing this journey is scary ... but that also keeps it fun.

Here are some photos from Movement 1. This movement is about the unknown. That feeling like you are on the edge of the cliff and need to make a change and you want to scream and also there is peace & you take a friend's hand —— and you journey into the void....
