What I Offer

Teaching Residencies + Workshops

I offer a range of teaching residencies and workshops designed for different communities and skill levels. For advanced dancers, I lead specialized workshops in Irish dance for contemporary dancers, contemporary Irish dance for traditional step dancers, and step dance rhythms. Beginners can explore Irish social dancing through accessible workshops—perfect for weddings, corporate events, or groups simply wanting to get moving together. I also teach dance strength classes for experienced movers and offer workshops at festivals.

For schools, I offer week-long residencies tailored to age and developmental stage. Younger students engage in creative movement residencies that build foundational skills through play and exploration. Older students experience movement work focused on nervous system regulation, creative expression, and discovering dance traditions from around the world. All residencies integrate my approach of dance as a tool for connection—to ourselves, our bodies, and our communities.

Choreography

I create choreography that bridges tradition and innovation, drawing on my deep roots in Irish step dance and my training in ballet and contemporary forms. My work explores how traditional movement vocabularies can speak to contemporary themes and audiences.

I choreograph musicals for high schools, and I am seeking additional opportunities with high schools and community theaters. I bring dynamic staging and culturally authentic movement to theatrical productions, making each show both visually compelling and true to its source material.

I also create performance-focused Irish dance works that push beyond the traditional competitive framework, exploring the expressive and theatrical potential of the form. Currently, I’m seeking opportunities to set contemporary Irish dance choreography for dance companies, theaters, and festivals. I’m particularly interested in collaborations that explore Irish dance as a living, evolving art form—honoring its rich tradition while expanding its creative possibilities. Whether working with trained Irish dancers or contemporary artists curious about the form, I create work that’s rhythmically compelling, physically rigorous, and emotionally resonant.
