A California native with deep roots in Santa Clara County, she is a director, choreographer, educator and performer. With a passion for teaching all levels of dance, her goal is to advance students while meeting them where they are at, guiding them in building their knowledge and technique as a performer. Driven to continually expand the dance community, she is eager to help students network with alumni and current professionals thriving in the industry. A lifelong student herself, she encourages students to stay curious and be a sponge, so that continued education will support one’s growth as a creative practitioner and ardent champion of the arts.
Pauline received her M.F.A. in Directing and Choreography from Wilson College, and her B.A. in Performing Arts from St. Mary’s College.
