- Dance -
After coming from a background in competitive dance, I entered by second stage of training by performing concert dance work as a part of Drexel Dance Ensemble. While on the ensemble, I had the opportunity of performing in a plethora works and a dance films.
I also have been delving into the world of creating dance film for my own creative work. You can view some of the works I’ve been in and some of the works I’ve choreographed and shot myself below.
