I’m a trained dancer and actress having graduated from London Metropolitan University with a Performing Arts Foundation Degree and worked in TV, film and musical theatre. I am thrilled to share my skills and experience with you to bring out the best in you! I’ve been teaching Burlesque Chair Dance since 2021 and in that time a tribe of beautiful people inside and out has formed. The bond that is created in class forms deep friendships, and we love to party together, go on trips, and are there for each other in times of need; we are a community not just a class. I have had the most wonderful feedback from my dancers which has helped me to grow in confidence and believe in myself more. In turn, the girls (and boys) also say that they feel uplifted by me, supported, and are also growing in confidence.

My objective is to make everyone feel welcome, relaxed, and most importantly, to have fun! We have a real giggle in class and enjoy being sassy and a little bit saucy! It is the most empowering experience to dance Burlesque Chair Dance; it puts a spring in your step and makes you feel alive. It is addictive and I have dancers who have been with me for years, still loving every minute and constantly growing in strength, flexibility and technique. It is so rewarding to see the life changes in my dancers, from shedding weight to getting through a divorce; that is something I didn’t anticipate when I became an instructor, you are part of their journey! I am also a Reiki Master Teacher and am passionate about wellness of the mind, body and emotions. At the end of our stretch class, Flex It, I do a guided meditation and create a healing environment that has us all feeling zen at the end. I very much believe in creating a safe space for everyone to express themselves in their most authentic way and live their best lives! It is about how you feel, not how you look; we enjoy our bodies exactly the way they
are, and the fitness is a happy bi-product of the fun we are having.

Twice a year I put on a showcase; we dance in full costume with lighting, a stage and a paying audience. Some dancers prefer to be in the audience, and those who do brave the stage absolutely love it! Some dancers are keen to be part of the professional show team performing at festivals and events. I welcome all levels; we celebrate each other’s successes and everyone is encouraged to do their personal best. If you would like to join us, come and do a trial class, you won’t look back!
