Personal Description::

I am an experienced dance/movement teacher, very passionate and enthusiastic about teaching people of various ages and abilities.

I have completed my undergraduate studies at London Contemporary Dance School and since then I work as a freelance dance artist, performer and teacher.

I enjoy teaching as well as dancing many different styles, such as ballet, contemporary, street, improvisation etc. as they all have something different to offer.

As a person I am social, hard-working, very committed and open-minded.

Dance Instruction/Teaching Experience::

While I was still in my vocational training I started working as a Teaching Assistant in dance classes for young people at The Place which helped me develop my teaching skills. During these years I also gained considerable knowledge choreography and improvisation.

Furthermore, I work as a Dance Teacher and Workshop Facilitator in dance institutions such as The Place and Royal Academy of Dance as well as in primary schools, local dance schools and community centres. I have experience of delivering contemporary, creative movement, choreography and improvisation classes as well as leading workshops and choreographing for young people (for example for Camden Schools Dance Festival).

In addition I am currently Rehearsal Assistant Director at Counterpoint, an Elder’s Company, which gives me considerable experience in working with older people.

I have experience in teaching early years dance classes up to 17 years old, as well as adults and older people (60+).

Teaching Approach::

Teaching for me is all about giving and taking.
Through teaching I try to convey all my knowledge, passion and enthusiasm about dance.
Regardless of the type of dance, the age or the ability I believe that dance should be enjoyable!

Therefore, I love delivering sessions that are physically and creatively challenging but at the same time FUN!

I want people to be able to enjoy moving while learning and understanding the principles of dance as well as feeling inspired and energised.
