I started dancing at the age of three, at a local school in Milton Keynes, and begun my professional training at 14, at the Sylvia Young Theatre School in London, as a full-time pupil.  My professional credits include - 'Our Friends in the north' (BBC), Paul Merton's life of comedy(BBC), London's Burning(LWT), Childrens Royal Variety Performances, amongst others.  I then went on to gain a scholarship to Laine Theatre Arts, Surrey at 16 and successfully completed a 3 year musical theatre course, with distinction, as well as gaining my ISTD teaching qualifications - again with distinction.  After graduation, I worked as a dancer/entertainer in Cornwall for a Summer season where I stayed for another year as a dance teacher at a local school. Since my return to Milton Keynes in the millenium, I have been free lance teaching at four dance schools throughout the region and choreographing professionally.  My work includes"West Side Story" at Milton Keynes Theatre and the Wella Hair Awards in London.   As principal of the school I am looking to ensure that all her pupils receive the same high standards of tuition, that I myself experienced.

As a dancer, I reached Advanced level in all disciplines. At 17, I was accepted onto the 3 year training course at the Royal Academy of Dance, majoring in Ballet.  Since graduating with my licentiate, I have worked extensively throughout the Midlands, and for a short time in London.  In 1993, I had the opportunity to head a dance academy, which proved to be a thrilling experience.  When not teaching, I am choreographing.  This can be anything from competition numbers for dance festivals, to charity performances and fashion shows or working with directors on theatrical productions.  As well as vocational training, I am also an academic tutor, providing tuition in GCSE and A level dance and working as an examiner for the AQA board.
