About
I am making movement classes and performances where queer people practice standing tall, moving with confidence, and taking up space together in safe, welcoming rooms.
Impact
It helps queer people practice taking up space without fear. That confidence ripples outward into daily life, creativity, and how we show up for each other.
Progress
Over nine years, I have built ongoing classes and workshops, taught over 15,000 students, and guided hundreds of people through their first performance experiences.
Team
I have a B.A. degree in Dance Performance, Pedagogy, & Choreography in addition to performing Burlesque for 15 years & producing shows for 9 years. It's becoming increasingly hard to fund classes & shows, these funds would have a significant impact.
