Her innovative bar fitness class is just one example of how she's reinventing the dance experience for her students.

I'm not sure how else to explain my life so far this year but trust me when I tell you that I've learned a lot about myself, my family and this life that I'm living. Two days after Christmas I lost my father to a hemorrhagic stroke. It was sudden and unexpected. My sisters and I were left to deal with a lot of uncertainty and unprepared trauma. In this episode I share with you that time in my life and the Beautiful complicated man that was my father. I hope you enjoy. I love you Dad!
