About Me
History
I began to dance at Kickers Dance Studios at 4 years old and as I turned 16 I started to work in a local Fitness First health club. I trained with them and gained numerous fitness qualifications while continuing my training at Kickers Dance Studios. I then furthered my dance and fitness training at MMU Cheshire gaining a BA Joint Honours in Dance and Sport (2:1).
After University I moved to London where I managed a fitness studio, held workshops, taught fitness classes and personally trained many clients for three years. During these three years I completed my MSc in Dance Science at Laban where I focussed my work on training dancers and consulting dance schools.
