Having moved around for the greater part of my early life, its nice to find comfort and home in a city like Vancouver. Having just completed my university degree at the University of British Columbia I am very involved in the dancing community of Vancouver. Being classically trained in ballet my whole life, BalletBC is one of my favourite ensembles. Yet my interests in dance span far and wide to jazz, hiphop, and now Argentine tango and ballroom. A new dance endeavour I am taking up is Polynesian dance! I know that my ballet and jazz background will surely help in this adventure. I entertain anything dance related, from clothing, shoes, teachers and performances, and welcome any questions or discussions about dance.
