Artistic Statement

As a dance artist, I am drawn to performing works with strong messages, themes, and storylines that center around women's empowerment and embracing femininity. In a society where women continue to experience inequalities compared to men, it is important for me to push against these stereotypes. My hope is that tapping into my power, technique, and athleticism as a dynamic mover will inspire audiences to embrace their own femininity that they carry with them and showcase confidently in their everyday lives.
