Matthew’s teaching philosophy is based on creating a welcoming and diverse environment that encourages students to be their most authentic self. He emboldens you to identify your artistic voice while also ensuring that you understand dance movements are a visual representation of the music you hear and feel. In his classes, he highlights the value of supporting and applauding one another within the space while also helping students lose any sense of fear and judgment. He also challenges his students to stretch their possibilities. Matthew’s versatile dance training grants him multiple influences when creating. His dynamic movement structure and vocabulary is based on his training in ballet, hip-hop, contemporary, modern, and improvisation. With these skills, he yearns to establish a solid foundation of movement that dancers can utilize and add to their own unique movement style.
