I have been trained in contemporary, ballet, jazz, hip hop and have done basic tap and ballroom so have a broad range of styles I can perform. I teach private and group classes on a regular basis, and am currently working towards my diploma in teaching ISTD syllabus.
I have choreographed internationally and for large and small scale events, and have been highly praised for my work. My degree included extensive training in this.
