My Teaching Style
I’ve been a regular barre attendee for years now, so I know what it feels like to be in your place. I consciously remind myself of the importance of stretching, taking breaks, and maintaining the flow of class. As a class participant I always appreciate the variety of movements available and try my best to shake things up (literally and figuratively!). I hope my students fall in love with barre like I did - it’s an amazing way to tone up and develop a mind/body connection. You’ll likely see me at the barre with you on days I’m not teaching because I practice what I preach!
Experience
I’m from the Madison area, but attended the University of Minnesota and graduated in 2016 with a degree in Human Resources. I returned home every summer for various internships and that’s how I learned of Dragonfly. An internship at a company in Middleton meant that I drove past the Dfly studio nearly every day until eventually I decided to stop in. The atmosphere was so inviting that I signed up for a membership on the spot! After taking barre for years I decided to further my practice by getting instructor certified in 2018.
