About me
I am a classically trained dance artist and teacher living and working in Essex with easy access into London. I have extensive professional experience as both a teacher and performer and am proficient in many dance styles including Ballet, Jazz, Commercial Street, Contemporary and Pas de Deux. I am versatile, dynamic and unique - willing to undertake any project and approach it with enthusiasm and drive. I am an award winning choreographer and am able to produce commissioned work to a wide variety of specifications. In my role as a teacher I have worked with students from the ages of 4 to 40 and aim to provide inspiring, safe and creative environments in which to learn. My workshops range from 1 hour short lessons in a dance genre of choice to full day choreography workshops and 1 - 2 week residencies. I can also provide my own music and sound system for teaching positions and am able to provide own costumes and make - up for performance based projects.Additional skills:
A classically trained freelance dance teacher, I have been teaching a wide age range of children and adults (4-40) a variety of dance styles since 2007. Originally from The Lake District I have a vast experience of school work including after school clubs (ballet, street dance, contemporary & creative movement) at Junior level, KS 1 & 2 dance, Musical Theatre workshops, ACE dance festival & Rock Challenge winning performances. I am also experienced at teaching secondary level students where I have delivered jazz, street, musical theatre & performance skills as well as produced and directed performances a long side the students. I am also a National Diploma Performing Arts tutor.
Whilst freelance I have managed to build up a solid client base which enables me to be able to widen my experience and broaden my skills. I also tutor ballet and jazz on a one - to - one basis, or in small groups and cater bespoke workshops and classes to the needs of the client.
I specialise in safe, inspiring and inclusive environments in which children can learn how to correctly move their bodies whilst exploring the creativity of movement and enjoyment of listening and responding to music. I can provide a number of props for my classes and am always able to develop or adapt a class to specific needs of a client.
