Teacher's Biography
I started ballet at an early age. I attended Elmhurst Ballet School and completed my training at Rambert School of Ballet - then situated at the Mercury Theatre in Notting Hill. My professional career was spent in Germany - with the ballet companies at the Lubeck Stadtstheater and Hannover Staatstheater - which involved dancing in a varied repetoire of traditional ballets - operas - and musicals. On returning to England I attended the Professional Dancer's Teaching Course at the Royal Academy of Ballet - and on completion I taught at the Hammond School in Chester. In order to study further - I returned to London and was invited to join the staff of Laine Theatre Arts. During this time I gained my Licentiate Teaching Certificate. I have worked as a guest teacher at the Cecchetti Centre and for the Cecchetti Scholars - and gave a lecture/demonstration at the annual ISTD Congress. After a break to focus on family life - I am currently teaching for the Diana Vere School of Ballet and I am also a Ballet tutor for the Youth Dance Academy at Swindon Dance.
