I truly believe that figure skating is a combination of strength, artistry, musicality, and a positive attitude.\u00a0 I seek to instill self-motivation, injury prevention, and hard work in each of my students, while allowing them to be playful and artistically creative.\u00a0 Ideally, I like to work with the students on and off the ice to build strength and correct alignment so they can fully enjoy their time on the ice!<\/p>\n
