I also choreograph many dance and singing routines for end of year shows.  I am working at the moment on a Mamma Mia finale for a school which consists of 3 dances and 1 song with 80 children all aged between 4 and 18! 

I have also set up my own Musical Theatre workshops teaching routines and songs from the shows i have performed in, which have been hugely successful.  

I was also lucky enough to work with Stephanie Manuel in setting up Musical Theatre workshops in conjunction with First Choice holidays in Spain.  We worked together and created succesful musical theatre workshops for the children on holiday at First Choice hotels.
