The Story Behind the Calls

I've been dancing for over 15 years and what began as a way to challenge my brain and body quickly became a lifelong love of dancing. There's nothing quite like watching a room full of strangers twirl their way into a community over the course of an evening or weekend.

I specialize in making every event feel accessible and fun, whether you've danced contra a hundred times or never heard the word "do-si-do" in your life. My calling style is clear, energetic, and always a little bit playful.

I work beautifully with live acoustic bands and recorded music alike, and I love collaborating with event organizers to build a program that fits the mood and energy of your crowd.
