I am so grateful to be invited to be a movement consultant for the American Shakespeare Center's Fall 2026 Season, and check out my blog post about working on As You Like It for their Summer 2026 Season too!

​

I am teaching weekly classes on Mondays at Albemarle Ballet Theatre in Crozet, and on Fridays at Silver Line Theatre Exchange in downtown Staunton.

 

It's been great to give the occasional master class at Mary Baldwin University for their Shakespeare and Performance program. ​Please reach out if you are a fellow educator interested in a session or a series on movement for actors, social dance, or dance history. Or if you just fancy a nerdy chat about dance.

​

I am also looking forward to working on some musicals for high schools in the area again this year, and have loved my collaborations with Storm Theater at Staunton High School and their wonderful music department! I'm really excited to work with Fort Defiance High School as a choreographer for Cinderella, going up in February. Stay tuned!
