“Hey squad! I am so excited to see you on the mat to sweat it out and sing out loud together. I’ve been teaching fitness for 12 years and I live to watch you get more confident in yourself and bring that off the mat with you. I love creating community, so I cannot wait to get to know you! When I’m not teaching, you can find me at a house music show, drinking dirty martinis with a friend, hanging on the beach, and of course rotting at home every sunday because… balance. One fun fact about me is that I used to be terrified of public speaking and my closest friends from growing up remember me as shy - how times have changed!”

“WHAT’S UP HOUSEWORK! Let’s get this party started! I’ve been dancing my whole life and started teaching group fitness about 10 years ago. I fell in love with teaching fitness because it allows me to blend my love for music, movement, and community while helping to make YOUR life a little bit brighter each day! When I’m not teaching, you can catch me walking the West Side Highway with my dog Ruby by day and out on the town with my girls with a spicy marg in hand by night. One fun fact about me is that I am also a HUGE musical theatre girly and am secretly hoping for the day that I can play a “Defying Gravity” remix in class (please Syd I’m begging).

“Hey hey friends! SO PUMPED to move with you guys! I’ve been teaching fitness for 7 years, and nothing gives me LIFE more than seeing you become your best self through movement and connection with others in class! Having been a singer and dancer my whole life, expect a whole lot of that in my classes. ;) I work in tech sales full-time (my Miley Hannah double life), so allow me to be your energy shot before we get the workday started. When I'm not teaching, you can find me in dance classes, recording music, walking the West Side Highway, or out for drinks and dancing with the girls! Can’t wait to see you in class!”

“Hi all! I’m BEYOND excited to meet you! I believe fitness has the special opportunity to be something just for you! Especially in the chaos of New York City - HOUSEWORK is a space for you to take care of your physical, mental and emotional wellbeing all while dancing it out to John Summit! I love the community here at Housework and can't wait to welcome you in :)! When I’m not teaching I love hanging out with friends, eating quesadillas at ArtBar, walking around Prospect Park (the best park in my opinion), or relaxing at home and binging some reality tv. One fun fact about me is that I have tried almost every flavor of Ben and Jerrys ice cream and of course, have a definitive ranking. Currently Impretzively Fudged holds the top spot!”

“Hi babes! I cannot wait to sweat, sculpt, and dance it out with you at HOUSEWORK! I’ve been teaching fitness for over 8 years - everything from dance cardio to barre - and what I love most is creating the kind of energy that lifts you up, fuels your confidence, and makes you feel like the unstoppable main character that you are. I’ve been in love with dance, pilates, and house music forever, so the pink room is basically my dream world come to life. I work in fashion marketing full time, but outside of that I’m all about movement and rejuvenation. When I’m not teaching, you’ll catch me wandering through Brooklyn double-fisting a coffee and sweet treat, making my way through my never-ending book list in Prospect Park, tending to my plant babies at home with my oil diffusers and salt lamps, or chefing up a spicy new recipe. Can’t wait to see you on the mat! xx”

“Hi friends!! I can't wait to move and groove with you all in class! Since I was 4 years old, dance has consumed my life in the best way possible and I finally moved to NYC to pursue my dream of being a professional dancer. After being a Knicks City Dancer for the last few seasons, I am so excited to embark on a new journey with the HOUSEWORK team. Fitness and dance go hand and hand so when I was introduced to Housework I knew it was the perfect way for me to dive into the fitness world! When I’m not teaching, you can find me in a dance class, reading my devotionals, getting dressed up and going to dinner, or having an espresso martini with the girls! Can't wait to sweat it out with you :)”

Hey hey squad! As a professional dancer, I feel incredibly passionate about moving my body and having fun. Musical theater brought me to NYC almost 10 years ago now (does that make me a true New Yorker?), and I’ve been so lucky to be working in the industry ever since. I’m beyond thrilled to be adding fitness to my repertoire with a workout that marries movement and music - what could be better than that? When I’m not teaching, you can find me at a sushi happy hour, in a heels class, or gabbing with the girls. I can’t wait to go on this journey with you all and sweat to the beat with you!

“Helloooooo Housework!!! I’m so excited to move, groove, dance, & sweat it out with you all!
I first found my passion for movement, art & fitness through dance when I was only 5 years old which eventually brought me to NYC to perform professionally! My goal is always to share love & light through movement and personal connection so I can’t wait to sweat it out with you! The blend of pilates, dance, community, house music & pink lights is my dream place to be, so I couldn't be happier to be here. When I’m not at Housework you can find me anywhere in the sun, taking a dance class, doing some retail therapy, reading my devotionals, having a chill thai & wine night with the girls or all dressed up running around the city! Let’s work my friends, can’t wait to see you in class!!! <3”

“I’m beyond excited (and so grateful!) to be moving with you all at HOUSEWORK, on the mic this time! I’ve actually been a Housework client since 2020 and this is truly a full‑circle moment for me! I grew up as a competitive gymnast for over 10 years before I transitioned into the world of dance. Fitness has always been a part of who I am, and I’ve been teaching for over three years in NY. For me, working out is much more than physical, it is my ultimate stress reliever, mood booster and chance to fully shut off my brain from the everyday chaos of life. My goal is for you to leave class feeling lighter, stronger, and happier than when you walked in. You can expect tons of fun, nonstop good vibes, and a space where you can be fully yourself. By day, I’m a corporate girl, but outside of work and teaching, I’m a social butterfly who loves good music, great people, and making memories.”

“Hi Team! I am so excited to move with you all!! I’ve been dancing my whole life and started teaching group fitness right out of college, and there’s nothing I love more than belting my favorite songs while moving in sync with my energized and motivated baddies. I am ecstatic to be joining this community that is so clearly full of love and shared passion and I can’t wait to help you all thrive on and off the mat! When I’m not teaching you can find me in a dance class, reading a book, or catching a quick beach vacay while blasting Bad Bunny (themed class anyone?). My favorite fun fact is that when I was in college I published an academic paper on the relationship between movement and cognitive development, so believe me when I say there is nothing more powerful than dancing your heart out. Looking forward to bringing my energy to the pink room, see you in class!”
