“Dance Fit Flex” is the best way to express my theory of fitness for all ages. Throughout my jurney of fitness and dance I am convinced that this combination is the best solution for longterm health and fitness for the body and mind.
I have been a working professional performer for over 30 years. I have been involved in sports from a very young age, I started as a child with gymnastics, where I had my first dance classes. My parents forbid me to dance, which only made me more determined. At 18 I started studying privately and within two years received a scholarship to one of the top college programs in the USA. I had already began working professionally as a performer before even starting college. My career started working in small theaters and dancing in nightclubs to pay my way through college. After graduating as one of the top students in the country, I moved to New York City where I immediately began working professionally as a performer, at that same time I got my certification as a personal trainer.
My journey skyrocketed when I took center stage in shows like "Cabaret," “A Chorus Line,” “Les Misérables,” and many more! As a singer, dancer, and actor, I graced the world's most iconic stages, spreading joy through performance.
But my passion for fitness, dance, and nutrition has been the heartbeat of my life. It's the secret sauce behind my boundless energy and youthful glow. Now, I bring decades of stage experience and a love for wellness to my courses.
Join me for an exhilarating journey filled with positivity, laughter, and vibrant energy! Let's dance our way to a healthier, happier you.
