Biography

As a commercial dance practitioner I have performed in many locations around the country, this has included corporate events and super clubs. Alongside my professional work I completed a BA (Hons) in Dance Practice and then undertook and successfully achieved my PGCE. I currently teach at the University Centre Doncaster on both Dance and Contemporary Performance Practice programmes, and alongside the work I do here I also run a performance school in the West Yorkshire area. Within my teaching I have supported students on external site specific workshops for dance and this is an area of the curriculum I would like to develop.
