My aim is to give every person I teach the opportunity for growth strength and self confidence. I am very passionate about sharing and exchanging the knowledge and skills I have gathered through all my experiences, with others who have an interest and are keen to learn. When teaching I like to address the human being first and foremost, then the art form, and then the career/industry. I create a fun, enjoyable but disciplined space for my students to train, create, and play within, and I will always keep a good energy and vibe throughout.

Willing to travel: 5 miles

Experience: I have 8+ years of experience teaching all ages from kids to adults at all levels. I specialise in Street Dance/Hip-hop/Commercial but also teach contemporary, jazz, musical theatre, and fitness. I trained in musical theatre and dance at The Brit School, Urdang Academy and later went onto to further her training after being awarded a full scholarship at Bodywork Dance Studio Cambridge. I have also worked professionally both in the UK and internationally as a performer in theatre, film, and tv.
