'As a teacher who absolutely loves dance & performing arts with the excitement it gives you, coming off stage with energy and a feeling of achievement. I want to pass on my knowledge and passion to those who attend me school. I will always work my students hard to get the best out of them in classes they love or may find more challenging. I am passionate that every child can achieve anything they want at my dance school. From attending and learning the foundations of dance, or to be a dancer or performer on the West End. I will always give the best I can to my students if they have the dedication and work ethic too'.
