I am 19 years old and from a part of Germany that is called Rodgau, which is near Frankfurt am Main.

I started ballet dancing at the age of 5 and later also learnt tap and modern. My teacher was Janet Seymour and she had a dance school in Dietzenbach. When the school was sold to Sim Aktel, she became my trainer for many years. When I was old enough, she allowed me to help her with the babies and the lower grades. It was then that I found my passion to be a dance teacher.

I decided to start my teaching qualifications when I finished my senior school. In September 2010 I left Germany and came to England to become a full-time student at The Stage Door College in Bournemouth. The college principals, Maureen and Julie Headford, are really nice and have a lot of experience in the business, as do all the other teachers that I am fortunate to work with. The other students at the College are very kind and have become very good friends to me. They have helped me to settle down in England and whenever I feel homesick, I know I can always talk to them and they are always there for me.

I really enjoy being a student in tis College, it was one of the best decisions i have ever made.
