During that time she had the pleasure to grow and train under Christopher Dolder, Carter Alexander, Brandi Coleman, Silas Farley, Anne Westwick, Christie Bondade, and Myra Woodruff. She also had the opportunity to work with esteemed choreographers including Larry Keigwin, Kim Cooper, Zach Ingram, Sekou McMiller, Alvon Reed. Regina loves the infinite journey of evolving as an artist and person while enjoying the current moment and gaining inspiration from those around her.
Dance is my outlet, my opportunity to escape reality and step into an incredible and creative experience that further pushes me to want to share such breathtaking art form with those around me. I am a very empathetic dancer, bringing immense work ethic and positivity to every experience I encounter. As an ever-growing artist, I am constantly pushing my boundaries and absorbing inspiration from other creators.
