I have been a freelance dance teacher and choreographer across Berkshire and Oxfordshire since I graduated from Millennium Performing Arts, London, one of the top Performing Arts Establishments in the UK, in July 2009, with a Level 6 National Diploma in Professional Musical Theatre, where I studied Ballet, Jazz, Contemporary (Graham, Cunningham and Release), Musical Theatre, Tap, Singing and Acting. In 2018, I graduated from Laine Theatre Arts alongside the University of the Creative Arts with a BA Hons degree in Musical Theatre and in 2019 I gained my QTS. 

I teach dance at a secondary school, I am the Early Stages' teacher at Stagecoach Abingdon, as well as being Artistic Director of West Berkshire Youth Dance Company (Westies), a company to develop talented youth dancers in training at a professional level.  I teach Contemporary, Jazz/Musical Theatre, Tap, Ballet and Street Jazz. I teach children from age 4 to 18 as well as taking adult and private one to one dance classes. I also choreograph full scale musicals and dance performance pieces.

​

Being Artistic Director of West Berkshire Youth Dance Company, I am the sole teacher/choreographer for both the Junior and Senior West Berkshire Youth Dance Company for auditioned children aged 12-18 years old.  Under my leadership and mentoring, they have performed in Newbury and Bracknell, as well as having worked with Lila Dance Company to create a Curtain Raiser piece for their show at the Corn Exchange Newbury. I have also created links with Millennium Performing Arts and Read College to give dancers taster days of dance education at professional dance colleges. I have ex-company members continuing their dance training to a higher level at Laban, London Contemporary Dance School, Northern School of Contemporary Dance, Millennium Performing Arts, LIPA, Bird College of Dance, IAB Barcelona, Read College and the University of Chichester.

I was previously the Contemporary Dance Tutor at Read College, Reading, where I teach on the one year Musical Theatre Foundation course and the two year Vocational 6th Form. The one year Foundation course prepares students to audition for professional dance/theatre college, with 100% of the musical theatre graduates being offered places at top UK Dance and Drama colleges.
