“I do not try to dance better than anyone else. I only try to dance better than myself.” -Mikhail Baryshnikov
Connection Dance
What motivates me as a dancer and competitor isn’t as much the pursuit of perfection as it is to challenge myself to be my personal best, while enjoying the process and the journey. As an instructor, I share that same approach with my students. And as an Event Director, I invite attendees to challenge themselves and enjoy their own dance experience as well.
In my Connection Dance group class, the focus is on making sure my students learn strong fundamentals while having fun.

Weekend Events Boston
Countdown Swing Boston
& Summer Hummer
The first year I went to New Years Dance Extravaganza — now Countdown Swing Boston — was the end of 2013. I couldn’t have imagined then that I would take over as Event Director of CSB or Summer Hummer. I was just trying to survive my first spotlight and I was in awe of everyone and everything around me. I don’t remember the details, but I remember being surrounded by friends, the celebration, and the high of ringing in the new year surrounded by a community I love dearly.
Year after year as I got more involved, I saw that the heart and soul of their events was one where from the top down the motivation was to get it right, and to have a party while doing it.
I will do my best to continue the spirit of what Bill and Yuna have started. I will also adapt and bring new ideas to the table and thread them in each year, with the intent to make two these events even more welcoming and joyful each year.
