I am a professional dancer who has been in shows such as 'Chicago,' We Will Rock You,' Flashdance,' and 'The Rat Pack.' I think it is important for young dancers wishing to be in the industry to learn routines from various shows such as these because having been to many auditions I know that if you have an idea of a routine which may be in an audition, it will make you feel more confident and therefore do a better audition. Also for anyone who wants to do dance as a hobby putting music on from one of your favourite musicals and learning routines is great fun!!!
I trained professionally at 'Laine Theatre Arts' in Surrey where I gained my diploma in Musical Theatre, as well as gaining high grades in Ballet, tap and jazz, my gold medal in acting and my ISTD teaching qualification in Jazz.
I have lots of teaching experiance such as being hand picked at 'laines' to teach musical theatre at a weeks summer school in Newquay where I had to teach students from 5 - 18 and create a performance piece for each age group which got great feedback. I have also taught workshops for 'pro-excel' and 'Allesley School Of Dancing' in Coventry.
