He/him

Intentional, curious, playful, and unserious. A conscious balance of gaining control and embracing the chaos.

Expect the brain to be working just as hard as the body. The capabilities of the human body are endless, and my goal is for everyone something new about themselves in every class.

I worked as a professional dancer for about 20 years, and I completed a number of training programs, internships, and company contracts where Pilates, yoga, and strength training were all mandatory parts of the curriculum. To be honest I never looked forward to the cross-training days and I didn't fully appreciate them until I transitioned from performance dance into teaching, where I was regularly utilizing my knowledge of body mechanics to explain pliés and tendus. Nowadays, the harmonious mix of my dance and fitness careers makes it incredibly difficult to determine which one is my main job.

I'm a sucker for a cardio dance party - burpees, booty shakes, and a bangin' playlist.

My very first group fitness job was leading aqua aerobics at a resort in Punta Cana. Over ten years later and I'm still serving the same vibes, just without a margarita in hand during squats.

Deep house, techno, gay anthems, and a touch of millennial nostalgia!
