The creative process is my favorite place to be! My work represents the countless hours where transformation and success took place both creatively and in daily lives.
Every day I lead students through my simple and effective method, and I see the success in each and every one of them. I’m passionate about sharing the Kea Method with dancers around the world, advocating for a healthier, more integrated approach to performance training—one that honors both body and mind.
With over 23 years of experience choreographing, directing, and teaching dance—including 15 as the owner of KEA Dance Center—I’ve built a life centered around movement and creative expression. I’m currently based between Boston, MA, and Camden, ME, and I travel internationally to collaborate with and learn from incredible artists across a range of styles.
Since 2010, I’ve produced annual productions featuring 70+ students at the Camden Opera House and other theaters. My performance work has taken me to NYC, Italy, and venues across New England. I’ve also been honored to speak as a keynote at events including JUICE, Recovery Through the Arts, Camden National Bank, and more.
Speaking up on mental Health
After years of witnessing the harsh judgment and constant comparison in today’s dance world—from commercial stages to Broadway to the competition circuit—I’m more convinced than ever that this method belongs in every dancer’s toolkit. It supports dancers in navigating body dysmorphia, managing stress, and breaking free from toxic industry standards.
Let’s reclaim our joy and find freedom in our movement!
I recently enjoyed being a guest artist at the Harlem Dance Festival in NYC to perform and raise awareness about how to integrate mental health and wellness tools into a dancer's daily life.
I frequently train in NYC and beyond with incredible artists such as Buddha Stretch, Ryan Daniel Beck, Caterina Rago and others that help me to continue to grow as an educator and leader in the many styles I teach, from hip hop to contemporary to modern…I LOVE learning and am always hungry for more.
