About Me-

Originally hailing from England, my dance journey began at a young age under the guidance of Belinda Hill at Chaplins Stage School. It was there that I developed a lifelong love for Ballet, Tap, Jazz, and Musical Theatre. Today, I bring my vibrant energy and expertise to the Grand Rapids, Michigan, dance community, specializing in International Standard and Latin dances.

At Social Dance Studio, I share my passion for dance by teaching a wide range of styles, including American Smooth and Rhythm, and Social Styles such as Hustle, Night Club Two-Step, Country Two-Step, Bachata, Salsa, and Argentine Tango. I also offer guest teaching and workshops in the U.S. to share my knowledge.

My career was shaped by the honor of receiving one of two scholarships to train at Stella Mann College of Performing Arts in England. There, I earned diplomas in Musical Theatre and Dance, setting the stage for a dynamic career performing on stage and screen. I’ve danced aboard cruise ships for esteemed companies such as Royal Caribbean Ltd. and P&O Australia.

In addition to my performing arts background, I have competed in Ballroom and Latin American dance competitions across the UK, including the Bournemouth UK Championship and Blackpool’s Champions of Tomorrow. Today, I focus on inspiring the next generation of dancers and participating in Pro/Am Dance Competitions across the United States.

I hold an Associate International Ballroom Certification through the American International Dance Association (A.I.D.A.), which I passed with the mark of Highly Commended. This achievement further solidifies my expertise in International Ballroom dance.

As a certified Exercise-to-Music Fitness Instructor and Inclusive Dance Instructor, I am committed to maintaining high standards in my teaching. I hold certifications in First Aid at Work and am a qualified Designated Safeguarding Lead for Children, ensuring a safe and supportive environment for all my students.
