dances
a space for this body
everything that has ever happened to me,
everything i have ever felt or thought or believed,
everything i have done and had and lost,
everything i have wanted and feared and celebrated....
everything, all of it, has happened in
THIS BODY
this life is a dance
choreographed by and for and in
THIS BODY
this body dances is dedicated
to the exploration of this body~
how it lives and loves and creates,
where it came from and where it's going.
And like any good exploration,
where we will end up
remains a mystery.
more than anything, this body loves to connect.
i would love this to be a space for connection and relationship.
send me a message or comment on a blog
and let me know what your body is up to!

...i am a dancer, mover, choreographer, collaborator, improviser, and teacher.
i bring a lifetime of dance and a wide variety of movement practices and styles to my rich, contagious, joyful, expressive, playful classes. i love sharing what i do, and i strive to create a safe space for movers of all ages, abilities, bodies and genders to engage with their own unique dance.
for ten years, i danced with Village Folk, an international folk dance group; i am a dancer, choreographer, and former Artistic Director of the Toronto-based community dance company, PushPULL.
i am committed to promoting dance for all bodies. i have trained in the Nia Technique, Ageless Grace, and DanceAbility. i am also an instructor with Dancing With Parkinson's in Toronto and across Canada online.
outside of my life in dance, i am also a wedding officiant, a life drawing model, and a parent. i have been involved in Equity & Diversity work with a number of different organizations and i thrive on the opportunity to engage in Courageous Conversations whenever possible.
​
in everything i do my guiding principle is connection and relationship. i would love the opportunity to connect with you through this site.
