POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

I’ve grown to really love Social Media.

Mostly as a creative outlet, as well as a way to stay inspired by fellow artists and connected to long-distance family and friends.

But recently I’m spending a little more time scrolling than I’m comfortable with. So I think I just need a reset while I figure out again how to have more boundaries around my time usage.

I’ve taken 3 years off and then 10 months off in the past, but this time I’m thinking just a 30 day break should be enough. We’ll see!

It’s been SO lovely sharing with you all and enjoying what you choose to share on here! I’ll certainly miss it! But looking forward to coming back sooon! 🧡

Happy Friday ! I find myself orchestrating dance circles at every event I attend. One person is just crazy but two that is a riot. Shout out broadway star @karriyma for bringing so much joy together with afrobeats in Scotts Valley and the amazing women I met dancing

Y’ALL!! What a journey!

I’ve been wanting to share more about my experience through Sister Act and this is an element of it that most people weren’t aware of.

Update: HE GOT THE PART! 🙌🏾

Lots of auditions for my students this week!

And while working on audition prep with them, I’m reminded that one of the most important
foundations for an incredible performance is CONFIDENCE! Being able to make clear choices, connect with the audience, and truly embody your character all requires trusting yourself and believing in your abilities.

As performing artists, many of us focus on the 2% of insecurity we have or the possibilities of “what might go wrong” in an audition…well I say, why not instead focus on all that you’re amazing at and bring to the table? Why not think of the things that could go exceedingly RIGHT? If we’re able to make up imaginary bad scenarios in our mind, then why not keep our thoughts stayed on the BEST CASE SCENARIO and walk in it as though it’s going to happen. Why not?! 🧡

Our mindset can make or break an audition and set us up for failure or success. Choosing confidence doesn’t mean that you think you’re altogether flawless…it means that you refuse to focus on the flaws.

This student of mine, Grayson, is a FORCE when he allows himself to be. Most of my students are. But what blocks their ✨ MAGIC ✨ is holding back and not giving themselves permission to showcase their strengths. Confidence is the key to unlocking that!

And I’m honored to help them kick down that door! 🚪

Same words, different story! 🎭

Can we turn identical lyrics into a totally different meaning using our body + facial expression? Let’s test it out!!

I’m sure you’ve heard that 93% of human communication is non-verbal, so that means as actors and storytellers there’s only so far that our voice alone can carry us towards accurately conveying a certain emotion. Body language and facial expression plays a much bigger role in expressing ourselves emotionally. This silly lil reel is a fun way of showcasing that!

Which do you feel fit the song better? Uplifting or Criticizing? Comment below! ⬇️

EEEEP! 🙌🏾 I can’t believe that exactly one year ago today I taught my first official Expression Session!

Since then, I’ve had over 50 clients walk through my doors and I couldn’t be more proud of myself for what I’ve accomplished over the last 12 months.

Thank you to my students, clients, family, and friends who not only believe in me but have taken time to share so much support and love towards me this past year. And of course thank You God for Your provision and guidance every step of the way. This is so much more than just a “job” and has been such a freeing and transformative experience learning to fully express myself unashamedly. And seeing that passed on to my students has been the greatest gift!!

Fall Registration is almost FULL and I’m pumped for what this 2nd year has in store! Woop woooop!! 🧡

We’re just N’SYNC,
like snakes n Spears.
Early 2000’s Olsen twinning,
now that we’re pushin’ ONE YEAR! 🎉

Grateful to have the chance to coach sweet Layla and watch her grow with each and every lesson. She’s one of my OG clients, so I’m not shocked that we’re at the “dressing alike” phase. Haha

August will mark a whole year since she walked through these doors and it makes me emotional knowing that I’ve fostered real friendship with my students…like I’ve always imagined. ✨
