I began my love of dancing from a very early age. I was seven when I joined The Stage Door School of Dance and Drama and was taught by Maureen and Julie Headford.

I started my teacher training in 1996 and was awarded my Associate Teachers qualification in Ballet, Tap, Modern and National.

During these years at The Stage Door I was lucky enough to be invited to be part of the Bournemouth and Poole Pantomimes, and danced in the Star Burst cabaret group for many prestigious events.

Leaving The Stage Door School of Dance and Drama in 1999 I worked as a magicians assistant in a cabaret show, and travelled over seas to dance in The Vila Moura Casino cabaret in Portugal.

On my return to the U.K I taught for other Dancing schools, and ran my own dance school for four years.

I am now pleased to have returned to the Stage Door School of Dance and Drama teaching for Maureen and Julie Headford.
