    Hi, I have been teaching hip hop dance, acting, and spoken word for over 15 years. I have a BFA in Acting, and professional experience in Hip Hop dance, and print modeling. I am a published poet and have extensive experience writing and performing. I enjoy teaching kids as well as adults. I usually teach beginners to advanced beginners, so if you are just starting out I may be the perfect fit for you.
