I don’t remember my life without dance playing an integral role. From growing up in studio dance, to performing on a collegiate dance team, to dancing in both the NBA and NFL, to directing an NBA dance team and two collegiate programs, to working with countless athletes and coaches through my business Premier Dance DC- dance has poured into me and let me do some pretty awesome things.

For over 25 years I’ve also been in the judge’s seat, learning under so many incredible professionals. Now, getting to mentor and guide from those same seats, I can honestly say my heart has never been more full.

To be nominated for NDA’s Excellence in Leadership Award alongside Andrea, Brian, Melissa and Tara is humbling, every one of them is not just an incredible leader, but an incredible human being.

What an honor to call what you love your career. 🫶🏽

And just like that, my 2026 judging season is a wrap.

From the judges table to the next phase—summer conditioning, pom intensives, and continued consulting with dance teams and our Premier Talent Management clients.

Different roles. Same purpose.
Educating, developing, and shaping the next generation of artists.

What a privilege to have adjudicated The Dance Worlds from DAY ONE.

19 years later, I’m still incredibly grateful to call this my career.

Four full days behind the judges’ table, surrounded by colleagues I deeply respect and truly enjoy—it never gets old. Each year the talent rises, and the global presence continues to expand.

To some, it may be “just dance”… but for those of us in it, it’s everything. 🤍

We’ve been quietly building something new behind the scenes.

Over the past few years, many parents have asked how to help their performers move from training and local productions into professional opportunities in film, television, and theater.

That question is exactly why we created a new division of Premier.

Introducing Premier Talent Management — focused on development, mentorship, and preparing young performers for professional work.

As part of this initiative, we’re launching our Premier Talent Development Series, bringing industry professionals to work directly with actors in focused training experiences.

🎬 Our first program:
Narrative Filmmaking Intensive with Curt Mega
Story Matters Studios

Actors selected will collaborate to rehearse, develop, and film a short narrative project while learning how storytelling and performance work together on camera.

This is not a drop-in class.
It’s a structured filmmaking experience for actors who want to grow on camera.

Enrollment is intentionally limited.

From the Riser: Reflections on College Nationals

It took me a moment to gather my thoughts after College Nationals.

For over 20 years, I’ve lived this world — as a collegiate dancer, NFL dancer, NBA dance team director, collegiate coach, and adjudicator. Dance has been the foundation of my professional life for more than 25 years.

What I witnessed at UDA Collegiate Nationals this year was the highest level of talent I’ve seen in my entire tenure.

Social media has opened the door for the world to finally see just how athletic and skilled dance team athletes are. I still remember being told in college that dance team would limit my future. I’m proud of my younger self for walking out determined to prove otherwise — and doing exactly that.

With visibility comes criticism. Conversations about judges and favoritism will always exist.

From my seat, the focus is simple: integrity, precision, and the scoresheet. I’m not there as a fan — I’m there to get it right. When I go home and rewatch, that’s when I get to enjoy the routines purely as a spectator.

I stay in this role because I’m an educator at heart.

This year, these teams understood the assignment — full-team athleticism, complexity, and technical excellence across the floor.

I leave this event filled with joy. The world is finally seeing what we’ve always known: dance team athletes are powerful, disciplined, and extraordinary.

Congratulations to the athletes, programs, coaches, and families.
2026 is already shaping up to be unforgettable. ✨

When I created my vision board for 2025, I set some pretty big goals.

Plans that would get me out of my comfort zone and into territories that God has laid on my heart for quite some time.

One of the areas that I wanted to step into was motivational speaking. I’ve always combined that into my dance endeavors as a coach and consultant but I wanted to enlarge my scope even more.

When I received the invitational to speak to the adjudicators for the 2025 USASF Cheer and Dance Worlds , I thought of several “excuses” of why I shouldn’t.

Those small voices of doubt in my head that said.. “you’re not ready”, “someone else is more qualified” and the list goes on. We’ve all been there.

BUT, the Holy Spirit quickly intervened- giving me the courage to say YES!

I looked around and locked eyes with so many people who have helped me succeed and given me the wisdom and courage to be exactly who God made me to be. It’s hard to put into words what my dance & cheer family has done for me.

I’m leaving my 16th or 17th Dance Worlds, inspired, encouraged and so proud of, ME. ☺️

My cup is filled because of my community who believed in me as I spoke from my heart with the hopes of helping them see that we are each uniquely and DIVERSELY equipped to leave our marks in this world.

Always remember…

YOU ARE CAPABLE

YOU ARE WORTHY

YOU ARE ENOUGH

Since 1994, NDA has been a part of my life.

I spent my college years performing with , years later came back as a judge, came back years later as the coach of a collegiate dance team and after another coaching hiatus I’m back judging at it felt so good!

I’ve lived through so many seasons of life with so many of these incredible judges. We are from all walks of life and dance is that one connecting puzzle piece that brings us all together.

So thankful for the gift of dance and all the joy of brings into my life.

Premier has consulted with more teams than ever this year on their journey to nationals, what a privilege. We love providing detailed feedback in the form of a checklist that serves as a useful tool when heading back into practice.
-
-
One of the top questions we get is “how can we raise our ex*****on scores?” and our response is always the same- dance specific cardio & conditioning drills from day one and at each and every practice.
-
-
A well conditioned team will achieve higher ex*****on scores because they have the stamina and control to sustain power, placement and precision of movement from start to finish.

Let us help you get your new season off to a STRONG start! Now booking summer conditioning sessions. DM or email for more info!
