1. Describe yourself in 3 words: 

Fun, creative & Loud

 2. Tell us about your dance background 

I started my dance journey at 3 years old in the Okanagan. I immediately loved all genres of dance, but primarily focused on ballet & jazz in my youth. I completed many Adapt Jazz Exams, Finished all of my RAD Ballet exams, travelled to dance conventions & travelled to many dance competitions until I graduated! After high school I began teaching in dance schools locally & still performed in dance groups as well. I opened my own studio in 2017 to create a space for all kinds of dance for all ages. I loved to dance in heels before this but I found my love for teaching heels this way. I now get to do this all the time & love every minute of it!

 3. How did you first get involved with Femme Fatale?  

I started taking workshops that Femme was offering in Kelowna! I loved the instructors they brought to Kelowna & the great classes they held!

 4. What’s your favourite thing about teaching? 

My favourite thing about teaching is watching people evolve & grow as dancers!! I love to see any dancer challenge themselves and thrive ! Nurturing & building confidence in students (younger or older) is a big goal in my classes. To see it happen is the most rewarding feeling for myself but most importantly for anyone who takes my classes.

 5. Outside of Femme Fatale, what do you do? 

I manage a Dance studio down in Osoyoos, teaching all levels & ages! I also work in my family’s business doing book keeping & secretary work!

 6. Favorite song to dance in your heels to? 

Oooooof, this is a hard one. I love all kinds of music, it really depends on my mood. But I can always get down to anything classic rock!

 7. What are your hobbies or interests?  

Other then dancing, I enjoy any kind of adventure outside, drinking wine or spending time with my friends!

 8. If you could spend the day with one person, dead or alive who would if be and why? 

If I could spend a day with one person, I would choose to have a day with Galen Hooks!! I would love to have a day to pick her brain & learn from her!

 9. Who or what inspires you? 

I’m inspired by so many amazing people in my life. My mom though, is someone who really inspires me. She is the epitome of living life to the fullest without a care in the world. She inspires me to be just as creative & free as she is. I still to this day run my dance & music ideas by her to see if she likes it first!

 10. What would you like to say to all the incredible dancers who are new to Femme this session? 

Enjoy the moment & soak it all in! We don’t often get time to do things for ourselves & I find dance can be the most stress free & empowering activity to be in. Going into class can feel overwhelming & intimidating but the babes at Femme truly create the most supportive environment in & out of classes! Take in all the gooooood vibes & have fun!
