    I have been teaching for fifteen years. I started in Baltimore and resumed my teaching in NYC. I danced with the Baltimore Dance Theatre then came to NYC to study further. I completed the teacher certification program at the Dance Theatre of Harlem then joined the company there. I helped implement and run a summer dance camp in Nassau Bahamas. I taught at the Dance Theatre of Harlem and the Henry Street Settlement. I am currently teaching at the Harlem School of the Arts and working towards my certification in Pilates. I am trying to explore as many avenues as possible right now as far as teaching is concerned.
