Ms. Peix is an ABT® Certified Teacher, who has successfully completed the ABT® Teacher Training Intensive in Pre-Primary through Level 3 of the ABT® National Training Curriculum.

The Anna Sokolow Archival Company, Margot Parsons Dance Company, Boston Dance Company, and other Boston-based choreographers.
As an educator, Ms. Peix hopes to inspire and invigorate her students through her passion for dance so that they may be able to develop an appreciation for this beautiful art form, explore the potential movement within themselves, and understand the value of studying dance at all levels.
