I will be going to Las Vegas to perform at the Mega Massive in Jillina Carlano's BDEx production of Alice in Wonderland this March! This has been a dream of mine and am thrilled it's finally happening! In order to prepare for the show, I am curtailing the class schedule for February and March. We'll still have classes Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. See you at the studio!
