My private sessions are thoughtful and detailed, intended for growing bodies and minds to establish safe movement patterns, sustained attention, and healthy risk-taking, while finding joy in the study of dance. I am present and available to my students as I pull from my extensive dance training background at The Ailey School and my professional dancing and choreographic endeavors with my own company, SuriCo. Furthermore, I use my ongoing somatic practices, Vinyasa yoga, and Body-Mind Centering, to create a collaborative environment that facilitates my students to move in sustainable pathways, free of pain, and full of artistic expression.
