I have been dancing for as long as I have been upright. I hold a Nia Black Belt and the MFA in Creative Writing and I have taught Nia since 2001. Finding Nia was the key to reclaiming the Joy of living in my body. As a dancer and a writer, I find my purpose in self-expression and in helping others find the tools to express themselves, so that we may all expand into our wholeness. I teach Nia, yoga and writing with an emphasis on heralding a movement-lifestyle within academic communities. My current schedule includes teaching Nia for Lesley University and MIT.
