Dear MDS Community, 
 
As the founder and director of Method Dance Studio, I want to personally welcome every one of you to our MDS community. 
 
It has been my dream to create MDS, a business that puts the dancer first giving them the best individualized and personal training that at the same time brings movers together to celebrate our passion and love for dance, movement, and art. My pedagogy champions giving back to ourselves and to each other in class and in our community through our movement. My purpose with MDS is to foster a company that is inviting and inclusive to everyone that takes a lesson. Growing up my dance studio was my second home and I hope through my teaching dance too can be a second home to all my students. 

​

MDS is not a conventional dance studio. We are a progressive dance studio that always intends to be forward thinking in our pedagogy and the environment we cultivate for our students and MDS community. Our unique structure and training method lends itself to expedited training and a deeper mentorship for each student. I strive to be innovative and imaginative with my teaching philosophies so the space can be transformative for our dancers, giving them the freedom to express themselves and be embraced for the most genuine version of themselves. At MDS we want to instill dedication, a driven and hard work ethic; while always being honest, transparent, authentic in the classroom through our movement and instruction, and outside of the classroom in our mentorship and communication with our students, our teachers, and with all of you. 
 


 

My intention with MDS is to share my wisdom and knowledge of dance, fitness, and the connection between physical and mental well-being with anyone who takes a lesson with MDS. My goal is that MDS betters the lives of as many people as possible and that what I have created makes a positive impact on my students and their communities.  It is my pleasure to invite you all to MDS and I look forward to teaching you and seeing all of you in class. Let’s move! Let’s dance! This is our movement, our community, and our method!  

 

Warmly,
