I attended Performers College and Tiffany Theatre College where I studied Classical Ballet, Tap, Modern, Jazz, Commercial, Contemporary dance and Musical Theatre. I have experience teaching a wide range of ages and abilities, and am enthusiastic about helping others develop their skills in a safe, encouraging, and fun environment.
I have over 15 years of experience in the entertainment industry, and have worked as a professional dancer for television commercials, music videos, Disney, and the BBC. I also have experience working within environments such as Preschools, Primary schools and afterschool clubs putting on a wide range of performances and shows.
I have a real passion for theatre, and love bringing that to my teaching.

I’m an Elite Gymnastics with over 15 years' experience.
I’ve travelled all over the UK to teach high level gymnasts as well as being part of the British Gymnastics Committee to make sure pathway development is being delivered correctly across the country.
I was part of the Great Britain team as a gymnast from the age of 14-17. I won numerous apparatus British Championships titles.
My aim as a coach is to deliver Fun, Inspiring and Meaningful lessons to your little ones.
I’m looking forward to meeting you all.
From the age of 4 I have been participating in dance classes and from
8 I joined musical theatre, and have continued to do so, taking
singing and dance lessons to improve my skill for upcoming
performances and auditions. I took Performing Arts and Popular Music
at college where I performed in many showcases and musicals where I
had both principle actor and dancer roles. Overall I have been in over
15 full scale amateur theatre productions including Chicago, Legally
Blonde, Grease, Matilda and Grimm Tales! I am continuing to audition
for more of these projects as well as dance performances and
professional singing gigs and contracts.
I love to share my passion with children and teens wether they do it
for just for fun or because it’s what they want to do in their future,
performing is a great way to exercise and have fun but also to express
yourself, and I aim to let them do just that in every class.
