What inspired you to become a fitness instructor?
I started dancing at the age of two and quickly fell in love with the art, eventually dancing competitively and professionally at a young age. My passion for sharing the joy of dance led me to start teaching at just 15 years old. Over the years, I’ve worn many hats in the dance world—as a performer, choreographer, instructor, and judge for professional sports dance teams, entertainment companies, and dance studios. When my longtime and dear friend Alanna founded Barre Groove with unmatched passion and energy, I knew I had to be part of her incredible vision. Joining the squad sparked a new love for fitness, and I haven’t looked back since!
What’s your favorite part of teaching at Barre Groove?
My favorite part of teaching at Barre Groove is the incredible community of clients who bring energy, positivity, and enthusiasm to every class. It’s so inspiring to see people of all fitness levels come together, cheer each other on, and celebrate their progress. The support and camaraderie here are unmatched—it truly feels like a family. Watching our clients grow stronger, more confident, and have fun while doing it is what makes every class so rewarding!
How would you describe your classes in three words?
As most of my clients already know….. I set a goal for myself every class and it’s to walk out of the room SASSY, SEXY, & SWEATY
What’s your favorite workout move on the trampoline?
This is a tough one, but I’d have to say sprints around the world—they’re the ultimate love/hate relationship!
What kind of vibe can we expect in your playlist?
You can expect a high-energy mix of upbeat, current hits, with a sprinkle of nostalgic throwbacks that are guaranteed to put a smile on your face!
What’s your favorite way to unwind after a class?
Unwinding after class usually means a peaceful walk home while catching up with my mom—it’s my favorite little ritual.
What’s your “can’t miss” piece of advice for someone new to Barre Groove?
Don’t be afraid to take it at your own pace and embrace the burn! Barre Groove is all about having fun while challenging yourself, so trust the process and celebrate every step of your journey. And if you’re in my Monday night Twerkout, feel free to dance it out and twerk—it’s all about letting loose and having a blast!
What’s one fun fact about you that might surprise people?
One fun fact that might surprise people is that when I’m not teaching fitness, I work in commercial real estate! It’s a bit of a different world, but it keeps me busy and on my toes.
If you could describe how Barre Groove makes you feel in one word, what would it be?
“Empowered!” It captures the energy, confidence, and strength you feel both as an instructor and as part of the community.
What’s your go-to hype song when you need a boost?
My go-to hype song changes every week, but this week it’s ‘Higher Love’ by Kygo & Whitney Houston. The energy and positivity in that track always get me feeling ready to take on anything!
