Dance and Musical Theatre have been a huge part of my life from a young age, and I have been fortunate enough to train, perform and compete in a wide range of styles, including ballet, modern, tap, acrobatics, lyrical/contemporary, commercial, musical theatre and pointe, alongside completing my IDTA examinations. Growing up, I attended weekly classes at a local dance school and a theatre school. During this time, I was given many opportunities to compete regularly and perform in many different plays and musicals such as Alice in Wonderland, Narnia, Animal Farm, Charlie & The Chocolate Factory and many more!

At 16 years old, I moved away from home to begin my professional training at Italia Conti Arts Centre. During my training, I was fortunate enough to learn from some of the industry’s leading professionals and perform in a variety of productions, including a singing performance at the Wembley SSE arena. I then continued my training at Stella Mann College, where I graduated with a First Class BA (Hons) Degree in Performing Arts.

For over five years, I have taught at several dance schools and theatre schools, having previously worked as a teaching assistant before progressing into teaching. During lockdown, I launched free online dance classes for children and adults, which later grew to become regular classes for children 18 months+. Alongside stage school teaching, I have also delivered dance and music sessions in nursery and primary school settings, and choreographed many dance competition or event performances, such as for Chance 2 Dance.

I gained a distinction in my IDTA Teaching Qualification, am a qualified Acrobatic Arts teacher and Pilates instructor. In addition to this, I hold an enhanced DBS certificate, first aid training and safeguarding training.

My aim is to provide every student with high-quality training in an inspiring environment, helping students to build confidence, develop excellent technique and discover a lifelong love of performing.
