Dance is the language my body speaks. It is how I tell stories, process emotions, and explore the unknown. As an educator, I aim to share that language, inspiring students to regain agency in their bodies, discover themselves, and find joy.

I structure my teaching around five core pillars:

• Technique as a foundation: Learn the rules to break them thoughtfully, developing personal movement language.
• Embracing uncertainty: Mistakes and risk-taking fuel growth, creativity, and confidence.
• Self-reflection: Journals, feedback, and adaptable methods support each student’s unique learning process.
• Inclusivity and gender-neutral partnering: Students explore roles and movement free from traditional gender expectations.
• Community building: Dance fosters connection, collaboration, and shared joy beyond the classroom.

Teaching is my way of building community, nurturing growth, and helping students find their voices. From my roots in Lebanon, where I began teaching at a young age while excelling as a performer, I understand the responsibility of guiding others. I want my students to experience empowerment, whether pursuing professional dance or cultivating a lifelong love of movement.

Social dance is integral to my pedagogy, promoting accessibility, collaboration, and lifelong engagement with movement. Teaching is not just my profession—it is my life’s mission. No matter where I am, I remain committed to fostering growth, building community, and inspiring dancers to move, create, and connect.
