I trained and performed with different ballet companies in southern California until I was 18. After high school, I trained and performed professionally with LA Ballet (Los Angeles), Joffrey Ballet (New York City), and Bolshoi Ballet (Moscow).

I took my first aerial class at AR in 2014 and I loved it! I loved the challenge of strength, flexibility, and coordination all wrapped into one class. I’ve been in love with it ever since then. In addition to teaching at Aerial Revolution, I started my own flexibility program, Functional Flexibility. I love sharing my knowledge of flexibility with people of all different levels and backgrounds.
Here at Aerial Revolution, I teach flexibility/contortion. My classes are active flexibility, meaning that there is a lot of conditioning and strength exercises within the stretches I give. My flexibility classes are a mixture of different rhythmic and ballet stretches. While we do hold stretches and poses, my class is all about movement. Our bodies are active when we perform, so why not have them be active when we stretch? I look forward to seeing you in class!
