A 30 minute or 1 hour dance & mentorship session on zoom with me! What are you looking to work on? How can I help? We will collaborate to design a session based on your goals.

Some things we can work on:

• Movement direction for musicians/artists who tour, perform live, need help with photoshoots, press, media training, etc

• The mental dive: Building confidence, vocabulary, and tools to succeed

• Help with your competition solo

• Strengthening connection to your body, mind, and spirit

• Learning how to dance for the first time (including stretching, injury prevention, and tools for movement)

• Mentorship

• Support for college applications and auditions

• Performance anxiety

• Picking up choreography faster and retaining it

• Improvisation

• Industry advice and guidance

• Camera work: confidence, language, and skills to develop your confidence

• Technique, texture, musicality, pick up, and retention

• HOW to teach (for teachers!): build a syllabus, backwards design, create safer spaces in dance, working with the next generations, creating more accessible spaces, and all around guidance in how to become a great educator

• AND MORE!

My method and expertise:
I have a BFA in dance and an MFA in dance pedagogy, over 17 years of experience in the dance industry as a dancer, choreographer, and educator, and over 10 years of experience and education in dance safety and advocacy. I have a trauma and somatic informed approach, and aim to educate from a decolonized place—I continue receiving guidance and support here, and believe as your dance guide, it’s important I remain mentored and supported through therapy, shadow work, advocacy, and life coaching. While I value and honor technical dance training like physicality, injury prevention, textures, picking up choreography, camera work, etc, I believe that mental wellness and the depth of your humanity are the core guiding structures of evolving your artistry, and are of the upmost value in creating a long lasting dance career—or honestly, whatever you choose to do! I’m invested in guiding your humanity through dance and I aim to create an inclusive, accessible, and courageous dance space. My methods are always evolving through research and development, and I look forward to being on the journey with you. Thank you for trusting me to assist you along your life journey.

Testimonies:

• “I just wanted to say thank you so much for changing my relationship to dance.... learning from you has opened my eyes as a dancer and a member of the dance community. It’s encouraged me to keep my eyes up and paying attention to the world around me- nothing stands alone and dance is such a sacred space that we are all lucky to participate in. Lessons with you also ask me to slow down and breathe... taking one thing at a time and being so intentional with the way I move. Anyway, just really thankful.”

• “Privates with you have been a highlight in my week. I love the way we start by saying my goals. I also love the journaling “homework” prompts. I’m learning it’s ok to be uncomfortable and to “gentle parent” myself as you say hah.”

• “THANK YOU, CAT. You helped me figure out college! I was so stressed and our one-on-ones really helped me, especially during the submission process. My auditions were way less stressful thanks to your help and I got into my dream school!!!!” 

• “Thank you! She absolutely loves working with you! It's been difficult for her since going independent, but you are helping her so much! I appreciate it more than you know!”

• “You don't just teach her dance moves, you teach her how to be good person and to dance with purpose along with so much more.”

• “I’ve seen my child shift since working with you. She is more confident and picks up choreography faster. Her performance anxiety is lessening. She has courage to speak up and advocate for others, too! I see her enjoying dance and connecting with her peers in a genuine way. I especially appreciate you demonstrating and teaching her safety. As a mom, I can’t always be there to protect my kid. You’ve taught her more than dance steps and I can’t thank you enough. Thanks for all that you do, Cat!”

• “I have no interest in perusing dance as a career but I do love it. I came from a studio that caused me a lot of harm and is honestly why I stopped dancing. You’ve helped me find my love for it again. It feels good to just move without pressure. Your privates are so FUN and inquisitive. I feel like a kid again. And I’m also realizing how dance is helping me not be so stressed LOL. It’s such a positive experience. I learn so much. Thanks Cat.”
