The last group I taught in 2025….🥰

I love when former wedding clients invite me back to share the magic of dance for other special life occasions. This was a beautiful night of celebrating friendship during the holiday season. Some friends in the room knew each other for over 60 years! Glad to teach and witness these life long connections.

Thank you 2025 for another year of teaching. I am beyond grateful. Here are a few highlights of the year. I am looking forward to more moments of collaboration, celebration, and creativity in 2026! Happy New Year!

Bring your husband to work day. Dance, drink, and be merry.

12 years ago, I started CM Dance Company and produced my first little show for a preschool. A lot has happened since then (2 kids, a pandemic, homeschool, a few existential crisis’😩).

My latest production happened on Saturday and I am still processing the magic of that event. The photos and videos are being collected and I can’t wait to share some highlights soon. Reflecting back on where I started, it’s appropriate to say, things have escalated…in the best way possible. ❤️

Going into my 20th season of teaching dance with this type of energy!

My current season of life requires the most of me and there is no better dance than the samba to embody the stamina required to carry it all! Shout out to @samba_e_fuego and @arieldancestudios for the opportunity to keep on dancing, learning, and connecting with a beautiful community of dancing human beings!

It’s World Theatre Day! These days I enjoy working behind the scenes and living a slower paced life. Doing theatre inspired me to live a life beyond the stage and taught me how take the lead in both my personal and professional life. I love being able to pass those lessons down to my students. Also, since my time away from the stage as a performer, I’ve really enjoyed sitting in the audience being transported to another reality. Thank you to everyone who is part of keeping theatre alive. 🙏🏽

These photos were recently shared on a former student’s timeline of a dance that I taught almost a decade ago. It brought back many fond memories. I love making dances that make my student’s look and feel beautiful. My student’s are all grown up (and so am I) and this dance captured a beautiful time for us all. 🥰#flashbackfriday

What a great night for my homeschool musical theatre program and the students who courageously performed on stage! This was a new experience for most and I’m incredibly proud of how they all decided to show up for this moment. I am celebrating everyone’s growth and the community that came together to support these children and this program. I am grateful and blessed for this opportunity to teach, guide, and create. 🥰🙏🏽

I’m in my samba era! 💃🏽 I’m enjoying the process of learning this dance, its culture, and being surrounded by women with beautiful, powerful, and loving energy! 🥰 To learn and grow with others is what dance is all about. Special shout out to my teacher @mizsilpvk for her guidance-teachers who help you feel joy throughout the process are a gift! 🎁

Wonderful job to my student in his role of young Simba at CMTSJ production of Lion King Jr. What a “roaring” performance! So honored to be part of this young actor’s journey.

Samba-the perfect dance style to express how I’m feeling and living in this present time of my life. It’s fast paced and fabulous! You may miss a beat but you must keep pushing towards your most amazing self.

It’s been a little over 10 years since I’ve danced for myself. My kids came to watch me dance for the first time ever and I love that I could share this version of myself with them and that this version of myself is still available to share.

It was National Dance Day yesterday and I’m happy to share that this year-I danced. 💃🏽

It’s a tradition to kickoff my son’s homeschool year with a field trip. 3rd grade kicks off in San Fransisco!! It was a fun day of exploring. I showed him where I used to work. He doesn’t believe I used to be a singer for a dinner theatre show on Pier 39. It was so long ago that neither can I!! Looking forward to returning back to teaching this semester. Wishing everyone a great year of learning.
