I joined BCD UK roughly around 7 years ago, during a dark time in my life. I found a local advert advertising classes and I decided to go along and give it a try. I never looked back.

​

I decided to build on my experience of BCD classes a couple of years ago as I really enjoyed dancing and going to classes and felt I had nothing to lose in taking up the training opportunities at the time to become an instructor. I was fully supported by my dance Instructor at the time, now my confidant and Burlesque Mama – Sugar Storm.  She believed in me.

​

I had no previous teaching experience of health & fitness dance classes but, I am a Qualified Registered Nurse and felt I would possibly be able to learn the theory side quick, given my profession and I could carry over some transferable skills. I had a decent level of fitness, and I really enjoyed the dancing.  So off I went, and I have never looked back since. I am so glad I took the challenge.

​

I enjoy every minute of being a BCD instructor. The best part is being part of our dancers’ journey with them one of self-discovery, building belief and confidence. Reaching goals and targets together. Most of all though the support network and understanding we all have for one another making us a family. One where together we are strong. Classes for me, have inspired me to share dance, health & fitness with others. They have shaped me into a better version of myself. A version that believes, believes that you can be whatever you want to be.

​

I hope to achieve by delivering BCD classes to others the same mindset and that getting fitter, building confidence and have fun all at the same time is empowering. Exercise does not have to be boring. My personal achievements since being part of BCD have been amazing and have included opportunities I would never have dreamed of doing  a few years back.  Not only by getting fitter but, dancing solo’s in 2023 BCD UK Annual show, having the amazing training opportunities enabling me to achieve Level 1 and 2 learning the art of tease in masterclasses and Ostrich Feather Training.

​

I am a fun, encouraging, compassionate Instructor who helps others believe in themselves. I don’t believe we have to be dance perfect we just need to believe in being enough. Everyone who attends my classes are enough I welcome everyone with open arms. Beginners and LGBTQ+ are all welcome too. I would encourage anyone to come along and try a class. I guarantee if dancers are not smiling when they arrive, they certainly are on the way out.

​

My classes are £6 each pay and go, but why not grab a Ruby Pass at £45 a month for UNLIMITED classes with me? 

there’s no need to book – just turn up! Except for Saturdays which are booking only pleas
