ROCHESTER DANCERS, LET’S MOVE!
Since moving back to Rochester, connecting with fellow artists has been a challenge. I know the talent is here, and I’d love to bring more of us together to create, collaborate, and explore.

I’m looking to offer contemporary ballet classes, with a choreography lab for creative exploration and collaboration. 💥Where artistry and technicality merge.

Open to professional, former professional, and intermediate to advanced dancers interested in pushing boundaries and exploring movement beyond

Interested? I’d love to know what days and times work best for you!

Stay tuned! ✨🪐💥

Today we gather to
remember & celebrate
my Dad.

Today will be filled with memories, laughter, tears, and so much love.

A few months before you left, you asked if we could go for a car ride, just the two of us.

We never got the chance.

I think about that ride often and how much I wish we’d taken it. But now, you’ll be on every ride with me.

And if you’re listening…
I’m still watching for that electronic sign.
⚡️🔌🔋🤍

It doesn't feel real.

It doesn’t feel real that you’re gone. Time and space stand still, like looking at a photograph and wishing you could step back into that moment.

I miss you, Dad. Can you send me some kind of electronic signal 🔌 💡⚡️🔦 so I know you can hear me? LOL.
You’d know exactly how to do that.

My dad was an artist, but he also loved taking electronics apart, putting them back together, and figuring out what else they could do. I’ll miss his creative spirit, his fire, and the way he could somehow make everything feel a little calmer.

If you’d like to read more about my amazing Dad and his life, his obituary is linked in my bio. You can scroll all the way past the photos to the bottom of the page and sign the guest book. My Dad would love that! I’ve already signed it twice.

One of the most common questions I get is about Chaturanga. Here are a few simple cues to help you build strength, improve your alignment, and feel more confident in your practice. ✨💥🪷

Chaturanga in 4 Steps

1️⃣ Start Strong
High plank. Shoulders stacked over wrists. Engage your core.

2️⃣ Shift Forward
Move your shoulders slightly past your wrists.

3️⃣ Lower with Control
Keep your elbows hugging your ribs as you lower in one straight line.

4️⃣ Stop at 90°
Pause when your upper arms are parallel to the floor, then flow into Up Dog, or lower all the way down.

✨ Bonus Tip:
Think forward and down, not straight down.

Want to learn more and have fun? Join me Wednesday and Thursday @thestudioatdriphouse!
And Friday and Saturday @mbodyrochester!
All are welcome!

When I casually say, “Let’s hold plank…”

It may be a strange apocalyptic orange color outside do to the Canadian wild fires, but that won’t stop us! 💥
