I would  love to present to your dancers and/or staff and try to customize workshops to your needs and budget.I present virtually and in person. I have presented in the past year to The Grand Rapids Ballet, ABT JKO Studio, Puerto Rico Classical Dance Center, and Performing Arts Medicine Association on The Language of Eating Disorders. I hope to be able to offer our workshop to your dancers and staff.  Please let me know if you have any additional questions.  We offer discounts if multiple talks are booked and the length of the workshops ranges from 1-2 hrs.
