"Dance has always been a powerful source of inspiration for me. The ability to create and perform — whether interpreting someone else's choreography or bringing my own artistic vision to life — is an incredible feeling. I hold a First-Class BA (Hons) in Dance Practice from Liverpool John Moores University and have worked across the UK as a freelance dancer and teacher. My training spans a wide range of styles, including IDTA Ballet, Tap, Modern Jazz, Contemporary, and Street Dance. I furthered my development at Runway House in London and was honoured to be part of the Elite Company Team at Koby Studio in Leeds.

I am a qualified teacher in Acrobatic Arts, NATD Contemporary, IDTA, Zumba, and Building from the Ground Up — qualifications that reflect my dedication to both the art and the craft of dance education.

As a neurodivergent individual, I understand deeply the importance of creativity and the need for a space where everyone feels seen, valued, and safe to express themselves. I believe that dance should be accessible to all, and I strive to create an inclusive environment that encourages individuality, self-expression, and confidence.

Teaching children holds a special place in my heart. Dance empowers young people to explore their creativity, build resilience, and grow in both body and mind. Watching a child develop not only as a dancer but as a confident, expressive individual is one of the most rewarding parts of my work. I love sharing ideas, communicating through movement, and inspiring young dancers to find their own voice. It’s a privilege to guide their journey and to help them discover their full potential."
