About Me

I am a freelance dancer, teacher, choreographer and mentor. I am currently developing and performing 'Suzy Homemaker' an ACE funded (3 times now) solo show. Our current stage of the work is a pilot tour and projecting forward; our fourth stage will be a national tour of the work. During my time as a professional dancer I have worked with Opera North, Black Box Dance Company in Denmark, Jana Bitterová, Mercurial Dance, The Hexagon Collective, Constella OperaBallet, Tina Tarpgaard, Jason Mabana, Marie Brolin-Tani, Steph Giles, Dionysia Bouzioti, Joseph Reay-Reid, Northern Dance, Lila Naruse, Jacob Stage, Melody Putu, Alexander Michael, Balbir Singh Dance Company and Gerry Turvey to name a few. I have also produced and directed multiple works at the University of Sheffield where I am a resident artist and I am lucky enough to have movement direction experience in shows across West Yorkshire.
Teaching wise I have been fortunate to teach in multiple HE institutions and Conservatoires in England, Denmark and Sweden. I have taught extensively at Leeds City College, Leeds University, Danstalentakademi (Conservatoire in Denmark) and guest taught at many other schools in Yorkshire.

At Leeds City College I worked with young adults and children on the spectrum that have learning disabilities. I have also facilitated workshops with disabled adults and their carers in art galleries centered around movement and exploration that respond to the art work. I have choreographed multi-award winning solos, duets, trios and group numbers in ballet, contemporary, neo-classical and musical theatre jazz styles. I primarily teach contemporary (Graham, Cunningham, Release, Limon and Floorwork), Ballet, Pointe work, Repertoire and Neo-Classical.

Education

I trained at the Northern School of Contemporary Dance where I received a First Class Hons Degree and the Carolyn Woolridge Prize for highest performance marks. I also gained a Distinction in an MA in Contemporary Dance at NSCD. Prior to this I completed the Foundation Course at NSCD with a Distinction.

Experience / Qualifications

A brief over view can be found above, but prior to my HE training, I trained very heavily in ballet, jazz and tap. I am a professional dancer and teacher with years of experience in person and online.

The classes are aimed at the assimilation of technical elements with a biomechanical approach, focusing on the development of appropriate mechanics based on muscle chains and joint release. Knowledge of the objectives of the class sequences with a methodology broken down into the steps, theoretical and practical, will allow a more conscious execution in the long term, preventing short-term injuries. The importance of identifying body strengths and weaknesses individually, to program an exercise plan and overcome technical challenges in the development of a ballet class. Coordination, agility, resistance, stability, flexibility and proprioception will be objectives within reach during classes!
Commitment and dedication will be our allies 🤗
There is always time to start with your dreams and goals, whether you are just starting out, you have been training for a while and you want to give your work a twist to the codes of classical dance from a more organic perspective or dance has simply been part of your life and you like to be active based on the psycho-physical benefits of this discipline.
Together we can share the process of training from a different consciousness, attending to the body as a whole.😁

My class is based on the famous Vaganova method. Therefore during our work we will focus on the correct technique of movement and its style, so you will learn not only how to do elements correctly but also will understand how to make your dance look beautiful and catching for audience.
Also I stand for a positive approach in the educational process, because I am deeply convinced that this kind of attitude is one of the main keys to improvement.
You can study with me:
Classical ballet
Point work
Ballet Repertoire
Stretching
Ballet gymnastics

Class Description:
Welcome to a journey into two beautiful South Indian classical art forms — Carnatic Vocal Music and Bharatanatyam! Children are welcome to choose either discipline based on their interest, or explore both.

Carnatic Vocal Music: Students will learn the foundations of this classical singing tradition, starting with sarali varisas, janta varisas, alankarams, and gradually progressing to geethams, varnams, and keerthanas. Lessons focus on voice culture, raga identification, tala (rhythm) awareness, and pronunciation of Sanskrit/Tamil/Telugu lyrics, building a strong foundation for confident, expressive singing.

Bharatanatyam: Students will be introduced to the fundamentals of this classical dance form, including adavus (basic steps), postures, hand gestures (mudras), facial expressions (abhinaya), and rhythm coordination. As they progress, they will learn small items such as alarippu, jatiswaram, and simple padams/keertanams, developing grace, discipline, and stage confidence.

Classes are tailored to each child's age and pace, with a nurturing approach that builds both technical skill and a genuine love for Indian classical arts. No prior experience is necessary — just enthusiasm to learn!

I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Performing Arts Education in Dance, specializing in Classical Dance, and I have professional experience as a dancer, choreographer, and teacher of classical ballet, modern, and contemporary dance.

In class, we will work progressively on ballet technique, posture/alignment, coordination, musicality, flexibility, and artistic expression, always in a welcoming environment tailored to every student. These classes are designed both for those looking to start ballet from scratch and for students who want to refine their technique and continue growing as dancers.

Dances for Dancers is the art of teaching dancers not merely how to move their bodies to the rhythm but how to breathe life into every step by understanding that each dance, whether it is the graceful flutter of the Cariñosa, the playful hop of the Tinikling, or the vibrant energy of modern Filipino street dance, carries within it the soul, history, struggles, joy, and identity of the Filipino people, making the dancer not just a performer but a living storyteller of culture.
