My Interests

hip hop and ballroom get people grooving, contemporary dance makes people think deep thoughts, and world dance is a great way to celebrate who we are as diverse and creative people.

I'd like to meet:

everyone who dances, wants to dance, or who enjoys being a part of the spirit of this art form that’s as exciting to watch as it is to do.

Music:

sometimes dance is inspired by music, other times the dance comes first and then the perfect song is found. dancers often make their own music and some dance to noise or silence.

Movies:

Step Up, Take the Lead, Shall We Dance, Save the Last Dance, Chicago, Stomp the Yard, You Got Served

Television:

Dancelife, So You Think You Can Dance, Dancing with the Stars, the Wade Robeson project, and music videos with lots of dancing.

Books:

it's hard to read while dancing.

Heroes:

the talented directors, choreographers, and dancers that make houston a vibrant dance city.
