​
I currently teach for the Dance Centre's Power of Dance Senior program. I spent many years teaching at private dance studios, community centres, and for university dance programs and professional dance companies. I have listed some of my teaching experience below.
​
I ran a choreographic project called Project CPR (Choreographic Practice and Research), which for me, was a cross between teaching, mentoring, and rehearsal directing/outside eye-ing. I have added a section on this below my teaching info. I appreciate all who came through the CPR program as participants and guest mentors. They helped me gain facilitation and mentoring experience and paved the way for my PhD research and beyond. Now I am a sought-after and passionately invested rehearsal director/ dramaturgical advisor, and I am pursuing the seeds planted in Project CPR in my post-doc life as research and professional practice.
