Dance

Dance is my passion - it allows me to access a more extroverted side of myself where I feel free. 

I currently teach alongside my husband through Destine Dance, as well as train and compete in State and International Competitions.

Ballroom, Latin and Country Line are the main styles that we dance together, as well as this I also dance at a studio in Highett, doing pole, aerial and heels flow. 

Rock N Roll was my gateway into the dance scene, with a dream of competing at a VicRock Competition. 

I also rollerskate and try to incorporate dance into this.
