What I love about Carbondale

The collective creative minds of Carbondale breed a special motivation to dig deep into one's own artistic passion and thrive! 
I also love the abundant willingness to collaborate and try on strange ideas.

Little known fact about you

My favorite color is rainbow and I grew a unicorn tooth from the roof of my mouth when I was five.

"When I moved here I noticed a lack of dance arts in a place where the community was very engaged with lots of other types of arts. It motivated me to not just create dances in Carbondale... but to create a thriving dance scene! And we are on our way! I have had the opportunity to teach over 50 adults of all levels, set choreography on 20 dancers, and have performed in 11 locally produced works.
