Coaching Experience

With decades of experience in dance training, performance credits, choreography gigs, and directing opportunities, I not only have tangible, practical skills to share with my students, but hard-earned life advice to impart to them as well. I learned from the best, earning my BA in Theatre Arts from UC Santa Cruz and studying under noted theatre director, Dan Pessano (of Fresno mainstay, Good Company Players). Much of what I learned from my mentors I soaked up between rehearsals and off the pages of text books. I believe I can bring out the most confident actor in the shyest student, the slickest dancer hidden in the person who thinks they have two left feet, and the great singer who has only, so-far, shared their talent with their shower or car.

My services range in price, commitment, and subject matter. Sessions can be booked   for in-person or via zoom. They can be customized to an individual performer’s needs. Sample options include:
