Joy within Dance
Prioritizing community over the glitz and glamor,
I have been teaching dance for over 10 years and now I’ve stepped into my mama bear role.
I am able to support dancers in navigating the complex dance world, and through basic mind body connection rituals.
A dancers relationship to dance, and the surrounding dancers is of paramount importance for a healthy dance life. From early on I developed strategies for remaining safe and confident balancing life and dance. In my circles we love to center the joy of dance, and authentic self expression through movement.
I’ve taught all age groups and many dance styles, showing people new ways to move, and be supportive sources of light in their communities.

About
I was born in San Francisco, California, where I began my dance training through gymnastics, ballet, and performing arts. I graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara, with a BA in Dance and continued my training through an intensive ballet program. My early professional career spanned dance, heels, burlesque, and alternative performance, including touring with a burlesque group throughout California. I also explored ballroom culture, walking in Vogue Balls across San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles, and Berlin, and spent two years working as a dance teacher and talent at a San Francisco dance studio and agency.
After moving to Berlin in 2018, I continued developing my work in heels, burlesque, and cabaret, performing at venues, festivals, and independent events throughout the city. I have worked on commercial productions in both California and Berlin, taught at various dance studios, and created performance opportunities for other dancers. Through hosting events, I have focused on building spaces where artists can share their work, experiment with their performance styles, and connect with broader audiences.
In 2025, I began performing belly dance professionally, bringing together my dance background and interest in contemporary, club-oriented, and fusion performance. I now perform belly dance for audiences across Germany while continuing my work in heels and burlesque. I am also the founder of GLITTER ROCK REVUE, a live entertainment event that brings together cabaret, music, and diverse performance disciplines. The project serves as a platform for both emerging and established artists to present their work, develop their skills, and participate in a collaborative, community-oriented performance space. Alongside producing and performing, I teach weekly heels and burlesque classes at La Caminada Dance Studio in Berlin.
