"Hope is a very creative choreographer who can easily catch my vision as a director and bring it to life in ways I couldn’t see in my own head! As an actress and choreographer, she has a great understanding of telling a story through dance. She won’t put up a dance number for the sake of the number, she can enhance the story with the movement. One of the best things about working with Hope is her flexible attitude. I can ask for adjustments and she’ll happily brainstorm with me until we are both happy with the new result!”
Robbie Lindmark - Director of Newsies Jr.
As a choreographer, I pride myself in not just creating something visually beautiful or interesting, but in telling stories through dance with every movement. Nothing grieves me more than dance for dance sake. It has to have purpose and life, otherwise the art of dance is useless.
It's the same as humans. Without life and purpose, we lose meaning, we lose impact. That is why I strive to connect with my dancers on a personal level to help them achieve greatness. My job is to help them soar by providing opportunities for collaboration and engaging with them through the play of storytelling
