Summary

I've been working as a professional dancer/performer for almost 20 years. My other passion, apart from performing, is teaching and sharing my love of movement and dance.

I believe that exercise and movement should be a pleasure, not a punishment; therefore, I pride myself on making sure people leave my classes feeling strong, happy and with an extra pep in their step.
