I started attending Burlesque Chair Dance classes in January 2020 and decided to make the move to instructor in January 2023.BCD quickly became the highlight of my week. Time for me to exercise and in a supportive and empowering environment. I became an instructor to spread the
benefits of BCD to a wider audience.

I’ve wanted to dance since I was a child but never had the opportunity to attend classes. I did take up gymnastics and represented my school. From this, I have a love of flexibility and stretching. Other than that, I’ve attended various exercise to music-based fitness classes. Nothing has bought me the joy that BCD does. What I love most about being a BCD instructor is my
time in class with my customers. It is such a supportive environment and it’s great to see members gain confidence both in their moves and in the way they view themselves.

Classes have taught me that you don’t have to look like a supermodel to look and feel amazing. All ages, shapes, sizes and abilities look wonderful when dancing the moves with confidence. Being empowered to value yourself is just so attractive.

I hope that me and my dancers not only continue to put our all into the routines, expressing our own individual flair but also building upon the support and friendships that we offer to each other.

For dancers that have wanted to, there has been the opportunity to participate in local BCD shows. I am also really proud of being requested by a local theatre group to choreograph and perform a family friendly BCD
routine for their pantomime in 2023. Some of my dancers performed in this too. Performing is an option and not compulsory. There is no pressure to do so.

Ladies should give classes a go to not only feel the benefit of exercise but to feel supported, be in in non-judgmental setting and surprise themselves with things that they didn’t know they could do.

My classes are £6 each pay and go, no need to book – just turn up!
