Hello! I am the founder of Elevated Arts Chicago as well as a mother of two young girls. I hold a degree in Liberal Arts with a concentration in dance, and have been working in the dance and fitness industry for 20 years as an educator to children and adults ages 18 mo - 80 years! During my time as a dance and fitness instructor, I have had the wonderful opportunity to teach movement skills to children in the Chicago area schools blending their curriculum with the performing arts. As a mother of two young learners, I have recognized the value of the performing arts in their daily lives as a fun and effective means to foster their confidence and physical development as well as their early learning concepts. As a result, I decided to start Elevated Arts Chicago in an effort to bring my experience with the joy of dance and theater into the lives of all children. I hope your young scholars can join me for an exciting and unique way of learning!
