As a dancer and performer I am known for my powerful physique and dynamic versatility in dance styles. I pick up choreography quickly and have a calm creative energy in a rehearsal room. I’ve built meaningful relationships with choreographers over the years and as a result I’ve stepped into roles such as rehearsal director/dance captain and movement director.

As well as performing I have years of experience as a teacher, in professional colleges and conservatoires as well as in the local community. I am also a qualified personal trainer. I believe working with experienced movers as well as less experienced movers has taught me how best to create a safe space and allow each individual to flourish under my direction.

 
Subtly choreographed by Anna Morrissey and brilliantly executed Hayley Chilvers as Salome’s proxy, the dance was almost the best thing in the evening DASH dangerously provocative, mesmerisingly odd and thrillingly erotic.
