I believe that we need to move in as many ways as possible so I cycle through several routines in class. Routines change every four weeks to allow those only attending once a week to feel more comfortable with the movements.

40-Minute classes are all-standing // These classes will focus on ‘Aging Backward’ material.

60-minute classes start Standing and then either move to the Floor, and when possible Barre (chair) Workouts focusing on routines for about four weeks. The routines can range from ‘Aging Backward’ to Intermediate.

As a former professional modern dancer, moving has always given me life. I became involved in the fitness industry decades ago to help people find their movement, their way to "dance," as I believe we are all dancers; it is just a primal force within us.

I am known for my engaging and effective teaching style.

I look forward to helping you achieve your fitness and health goals through the gentle but deeply profound full-body movements of
