I discovered my love for dance at the age of 4 when my parents enrolled me in dance classes. I trained mostly in hip hop and contemporary at Danse Chaos Dance, where my teachers greatly influenced my development. Working with choreographers such as Rockwell Family, Chris Bonus, Janelle Ginestra, GRV, Greg Chapkis, Janick Arseneau and many more allowed me to perform on stage at the Hit The Floor showcase, View Dance Challenge (VD Final Hour Showdown), Hip Hop International and other competitions.

A highlight in my career was performing on the TV show « Révolution » streamed on TVA. Participating in this event was an amazing experience for me and I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to showcase my passion for dance on such a prominent platform. The journey was both challenging and rewarding, allowing me to grow as an artist and connect with incredibly talented dancers.

I started teaching at the age of 12, and by 14, I was already leading competitive groups. I’ve specialized in teaching technique classes and choreographing numerous competitive routines, helping dancers refine their skills and achieve their full potential. My experience also includes instructing at many summer dance camps, where I’ve had the pleasure of inspiring young dancers. Currently, I am honoured to be part of the Fusion Dance Production staff, where I continue to share my love for dance and contribute to the growth and success of our talented dancers.

With her creativity, passion, and thoughtful approach to movement, dancers can expect a class that’s both expressive and unforgettable.
