“As a Principal Dancer with New York City Ballet, I work with dancers at every stage — from students preparing for company auditions to professionals refining a specific role — bringing the same standards I hold myself to onstage, into every session. Coaching is not generic corrections on technique. Rather it's tailored, attentive work that meets each dancer where they are and builds towards where they want to go.


“Sessions are available in person in New York City, as well as virtually for dancers outside the area. If you're interested in working together, reach out with a bit about your background and what you're looking to focus on. Space is limited each season and spots fill far in advance, so please reach out to check current availability.”

Technique

Precision work on alignment, placement, and the mechanics behind clean, efficient movement. We will break down what's holding a step back — whether it's a turn, a jump, or partnering — and rebuild it with the kind of technical clarity that holds up under pressure.

Artistic Refinement

Steps are only the starting point. This is where we shape phrasing, musicality, and the small choices that turn correct movement into something that reads as intentional and alive onstage.
