Move, look, and feel LIKE A DANCER AGAIN

your journey isn't over.

20240812_210821~2_edited.jpg

This is your new dance home: train, perform, and thrive again.

Do you miss the intense training & performance opportunities from your peak dancing years?

Most studios offer either generic fitness classes or youth-focused programs, leaving experienced adult dancers feeling sidelined and forgotten.

​

​

we're changing that

As a professional dancer, choreographer and fitness instructor in New York City...

I've personally faced the challenges that keep adults from pursuing their passion for movement. After overcoming what was meant to be a career-ending spine injury, I discovered that limitations are merely invitations to evolve. Through unwavering dedication and an innovative approach, I not only returned to the stage but emerged with profound insights about helping others reconnect with the dancer they "used to be"—whether sidelined by injuries, busy schedules, or the belief that it's too late to return.

​

This journey inspired MOVE. MAKE. BLOOM.—a sanctuary where dedication meets artistry, designed specifically for adults ready to reconnect with dance. Here, we transcend conventional boundaries, whether they're physical limitations, demanding schedules, or years away from training. Each program offers a path to return strong: rediscover your inner artist, strengthen your body, and find opportunities to share your creativity. In this space that puts adults front and center, dedication thrives and obstacles become opportunities. With the right approach and supportive environment, we prove that it's never too late to return to what you love—at any age, at any stage of your journey.
