My dance work revolves around a feeling that is rooted in an emotion and character that can be showcased through movement. Creating art that can give an outside point of view, a new outlook, or a realization. Relatability and an interconnection in my dancework are significant. With that, storytelling that includes vulnerability, tension, and transformation is incorporated to bridge the gap between the audience and the movement. My choreography blends a sense of flow, bound, precision, power, gestural, and movement with musicality. I brainstorm movements that best fit with the tone of the music and story. My ultimate goal each time is to create dance work that offers meaning. With each piece I create, it is more than just movement, but a reflection of life itself and the feelings that come with it.
