Commercial street
As a dancer myself, I have trained professionally at Rare Studio in Liverpool from the ages of 16-20. During this time I undertook advanced training in many styles, including Ballet, Contemporary, Lyrical, Jazz, Hip-Hop, Heels and Commercial. However, my dance journey started well before this.
I started dancing at the age of 5 and have not stopped since! I have competed all over the world, including World of Dance Los Angeles, danced alongside Emilie Sande during the BBC sports personality of the year awards in Aberdeen, performed on blue peter and CBBC along with many more amazing experiences.
I began teaching at the age of 17 specialising in the commercial / hip-hop sector of dance. Having the creative freedom at such a young age gave me a chance to experiment with teaching techniques when it came to both classes and show work.
I love to create a safe space where people feel as though they can be their most confident selves. Dance is expression and being able to create spaces for all different types of people to come together and have fun whilst doing what they love is a gift.
