I recently qualified for the 2010 Young Artist Showcase, a choreography competition on the ice for aspiring choreographers. There are eight contestants that will receive ratings for four different challenges over four weeks (starting June 13th), and the two contestants with the highest ratings will compete at the finals in Blaine, MN. So, I am really happy to have the opportunity to share my choreographic work with others this summer!

The first video is self-performed choreography. The first piece is an exhibition program I made in early 2009; the second piece is a segment of a potential competitive program that I decided not to use this year; third is kind of a demo for a short program, and fourth is the beginnings of a new exhibition program. The third and fourth clips were pretty “on the spot” in that I brought two pieces of music to the rink that I liked a few Fridays ago and had one hour to see what I could do. Since I really liked the third piece I developed it further, and I plan to do the same with the fourth piece, too.

This is my profile for the competition. It is supposed to be a “getting to know me” piece haha

This shows a few programs I choreographed for skaters this spring. These were competed on May 1st and all three of these girls won their events!
