BIOGRAPHY

I am a classical ballet dancer and teacher of Pilates, ballet and personal training. It was through studying ballet at the Royal Ballet School that I first studied Pilates aged 11. I trained to teach classical ballet and Pilates after finishing my full time career, namely at English National Ballet,wanting to pass on the knowledge that I have learnt and experienced to all who want to understand their bodies and improve their physicality.

Pilates gives special knowledge of anatomy as well as stamina, strength and flexibility. Through the alignment, strengthening and breathing techniques it helps you to stay focused, physically strong and correctly aligned preventing and curing injury. Personal training also gives you increased strength, stamina and flexibility.

I recommend Ballet, Pilates and Personal training to men, women and children wanting to tone and strengthen muscles ensuring maximum safe,whole body and mind results including correcting posture and curing bad backs and injuries. Leaving you recharged, relaxed and more flexible. Improving confidence and wellbeing.

Initially, during classes I work safely and gradually for your needs and requirements. Then, eventually, I will push you beyond your physical expectations.

I have been teaching for 5 years in London 1;1, group mat work and equipment classes (reformer, Cadillac, tower and chair) ballet classes and personal training. I also teach pre and postnatal Pilates and am doctor referred. I tailor make private sessions of all types suited to your specific needs and give attention to all who come to my group classes.

I work with all levels: professionals, advanced, improvers and beginners.

I trained at both the Royal ballet Upper and lower schools before graduating to dance with London City Ballet. I then went on to dance principle roles in Peter Schaufuss ballet in Denmark, including the White Swan and Aurora as well as roles created on me such as Pricilla Presley in “The King”. I then joined English National Ballet for 10 years dancing, soloist and principle roles such as Bluebird, Song Fairy, White Cat, Red Riding Hood, Silver, White Cat (Sleeping Beauty) Autumn Fairy, Summer Fairy, (Cinderella) Gerda (Snow Queen), Clara (nutcracker) Alice (Alice in Wonderland) roles in Romeo and Juliet, Manon, Etudes, and Rite of Spring, amongst many others and in new works. After leaving ENB I was a guest in galas abroad where I started teaching and danced Juliet as a guest artist before studying for a diploma in classical dance teaching. I have been teaching for 4 years and particularly enjoys teaching professionals and new graduates preparing them for company life.
