Employment History & Experience

I am thoroughly trained in ballet, modern, jazz, contemporary and commercial and am trained in tap and waaking to a good standard. I have trained both at traditional dance schools and Pineapple Studios and therefore have been influenced by a wide variety of teachers and styles. I volunteered as a teaching assistant at a dance school for two years and have experience of teaching others. Furthermore, I have choreographed a number of solo dances for myself, and collaborated on group dances with others and thus have good choreography experience. I have lots of experience performing in dance shows; in April I will be performing with my current dance school in Pasha Kovalev's 'The Magic of Hollywood' tour in Guildford.
