Teaching Resume
“In the time I’ve worked with Ellen, I’ve made more growth than ever as an actor, performer, and storyteller. On stage and off, I find myself applying the techniques I have learned, and I can really feel the improvements that have been made. I have never been as confident in my abilities, and I believe I could not have found a better instructor if I tried to.
- Jake S, College audition prep student
“Ellen is fabulous! I had no idea where to start when I began thinking about grad school. She was able to help me find and work on pieces as well as guide me through the whole audition process. She’s been in my corner through it all.”
- Mattie B, Grad school audition prep student
"Ellen's lessons have helped me grow so much as a dancer and performer. I've developed both proper technique and stage confidence all at my own pace. She has helped me achieve way more than I thought I ever could!"
- Ellie W, Private ballet student
