Receiving Bachelor Degrees in Arts and in Education, as a Certified Alexander Technique Teacher through Susan Sinclair's program, and having an MFA in Dance Choreography, I have been a teacher since 2001. I teach professional dancers, actors, high school and elementary school students, and community dancers. I am contract faculty in the Dance department at York University. The main courses I teach are Conditioning, Somatics (Alexander Technique), Solo, Contact, and Ensemble Improvisation/Composition. The classes/workshops range from one hour introductory classes for individuals to full-year courses for large groups.
