I have not written a formal mission statement for Mind Your Body because mine seems more from the heart. If you do not know me as a dancer, you should know that dance is where my heart has been since I was four. I had an extensive dance career which I am proud of and never thought I would stop. Well…as most dancers, it just seemed like the right time and so I did. I stopped dancing.
Pilates and GYROTONIC slowly became a surrogate for dance. I fell in love with both. I am first a dancer, business woman second, which was learned as owner of the studio throughout the  fifteen years in business.

It is movement that I love and want to share with all of you. I have so much passion to teach, encourage you all to move, dance and use your bodies. It feels so good. My passion in seeing you all express through your body is my mission. I can see the smiles on your face when you do, despite the hard work it takes to push your body harder than you could ever imagine.

Having just watched Mao’s Last Dancer, I am connected to the world of dance once again.  He has  so much passion for dance. I can relate to this feeling.  The movie was touching and reminded me of why I work so hard at the studio. It is more passion than work

Thank you for sharing my love of movement and teaching with you. My intention is to encourage YOU to move and find the dancer within yourself!

To dance is to live~
