Artistic life outside Dance Wire:
I am a freelance Performing Artist, Choreographer and Dance Educator. After years of dancing around the world, my travels have finally led me to Portland where I am quickly establishing myself in a new country, a new home and a new dance community.
Why my work at Dance Wire is meaningful to me:
When first arriving to Portland in March of 2020, I found myself alone and unsure of where to begin my new journey in dance. While desperately searching online for anyone who could help me, I immediately found Dance Wire! I quickly started working with Emily and through guided 1:1 Sessions and many words of encouragement, I found my way to dance again! Now working at Dance Wire, I can give back to the community, the way Dance Wire gave to me.
