About me

I've danced my whole life as a hobby and at 16 I decided I wanted to become a professional dancer. Since then I've attended a year at an academy and then transferred to a university in London where I study dance. I've had professional training in many different styles including: contemporary, ballet, house, commercial heels, breakdance and hip hop and afro.
I'm also currently training as an actor with Unseen Academy
Additional skills:
As an ex gymnast I still train and perform various flips/tricks. My latest talent unique to me is that I can breakdance in high heels and do different tricks like handsprings in heels, as seen on my showreel.
Additional information:
I'm usually a freestyle dancer and enjoy exploring my creativity in this way but I'm happy to choreograph for pieces and I can pick up choreography well.
