Training

She holds a Master of Arts in Dance Education from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and graduated Magna Cum Laude from Belhaven University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Ballet. She is a certified Pilates Mat Instructor and has developed a resistance band conditioning class that addresses the needs of developing dancers. She continues her work to teach ballet from a “body perspective” that offers students anatomical knowledge alongside technique to build their kinesthetic understanding. 

Freetime

When she isn’t at the studio, Mrs. Aimée can be found gardening and cooking with her husband and children. She loves traveling, hiking, and spending time outside. She is excited to be working with the students in the genre of ballet and hopes to give them a solid technical foundation to enable them to build their dance dreams!
