The Art of Relevé was born from a belief that every child deserves the chance to dance, regardless of their financial background. Created by educators and artists who understand the transformative power of movement, our nonprofit was founded to remove barriers and create access to high-quality dance education. We saw too many passionate, talented young dancers sit on the sidelines because of cost — and we knew that had to change.

Through scholarships, performance opportunities, and a nurturing studio culture, The Art of Relevé gives dancers a place to rise — not just on their toes, but in their confidence, creativity, and sense of belonging.

With over 13 years of experience in youth development and a lifelong connection to the arts, I created The Art of Relevé to bring together my two greatest passions: empowering young people and sharing the joy of dance. I am trained in ballet, tap, jazz, contemporary, and lyrical, and hold a Master’s degree in Child and Adolescent Psychology, which deeply informs how I teach, lead, and build programs that support the whole dancer — mind, body, and spirit. Sharing my love for dance is more than a profession; it’s my purpose. I believe that every child deserves the chance to move, express, and grow in a space where they feel seen, supported, and celebrated.
