Let's get to know each other!

I was born in Ukraine, lived in Israel and Australia, and now am lucky to live in beautiful Colorado where I instruct dance, skiing and mathematics. I love movement, sharing the “how to” and instilling confidence in all my clients. I’ve taught fiery salsa, sensual bachata, grounded blues, creative fusion, and gorgeous zouk partner dances since 2013 and have performed in the US and Canada. I've also combined my ski and dance worlds through Snow Dances - wedding dances on skis and snowboards!
I'm proud to hold a Dance Education Master of Arts degree from the University of Northern Colorado, where I wrote the first-of-its-kind thesis about First Dances! Here's a fascinating tidbit: ancient people watched for signs of life to find food. And what represents life better than movement? If something moved, it could be alive. Thus, it became that if WE move (aka dance), we inspire life around us; a first dance imbues your marriage with life! How beautiful is that?
Dance is my self-expression and I can’t wait to create with you!

I am a Colorado native and have been performing and competing in tap, jazz and ballet since I was a child. I began teaching dance while a freshman in college, and it filled my world for the next 18 years. I have taught all ages and ability levels and my favorite part is seeing that little “light” come on when something just clicks! My biggest joy truly comes from watching students succeed.
Fast forward to my most recent passion - partner dancing! I fell in love with Bachata and Salsa and have spent the last 7 years on a co-ed performance team traveling to different events and festivals across the US to perform and social dance.
There is something very special about connecting with another person while dancing. It is a beautiful way to have an unspoken conversation. I am so excited to help you discover this connection for your special day and for you to showcase it through your wedding dances!
