Working internationally with professional dance companies, higher-education programs and independent artists.
Clear technique. Daring lineage. Drawing on ten years of continuing Janet Panetta's pedagogical work, proposing ballet technique as a rigorous and responsive language for contemporary dance practice.
My work warms up the body in a comprehensive manner, focusing on the efficient use of the muscles through exercises that develop clear alignment of the skeleton, with a rhythmic focus that is beneficial for jumping. The practice is a combination of somatic awareness and Cecchetti technique, which is deeply spatial and organizes a clear axis of the body in relation to the floor and into space.
