Performing Credits:
Dancing has taken me around the world and back. My journey started when I was trained in classical ballet, tap, modern and other styles at Kate Simmons Dance in Warrington. I then went on to fulfil my dream of entertaining audiences around the world while gracing the stage of five star hotels, grand casinos and luxury cruise ships. I often took centre stage while performing in places like Brazil, Argentina and New York – just to name a few! After acting as Dance Captain, Head Dancer & Production Manager on some of the world’s most decadent cruise ships, I finally rested my sea legs when I returned home in 2016.
I’ve since discovered a new passion for teaching and now nothing brings me more joy than sharing my skills and experience with a new generation- so let’s get those feet tapping, good toes pointing and faces smiling! I’m looking forward to passing on my knowledge teaching future stars and making their dreams come true just like mine did!
