TEACHING

I have been teaching dance and musical theatre for nearly 20 years around the UK.  I have experience working with young children, vocational students, masterclasses/workshops and teacher training. I teach with humour and aim to build a supportive, fun, yet challenging environment that gives every dancer an opportunity to learn and develop their skills. 

​

A specialist in tap and musical theatre jazz, I have also built an established career as an academic lecturer delivering sessions on writing and research skills, history dance and musical theatre, analysis and in tutoring both undergraduate and post-graduate dissertations. 

​

Having worked in musical theatre and continued to train in the USA, I bring a wealth of knowledge and material to students, no matter of age and ability.  I am equally comfortable working with beginners as I am pushing the most advanced students. 

​

As a regular tutor I have taught at many vocational schools over the years, including 12 years at the Urdang Academy.  I am currently the tap tutor for Performer's College, Birmingham and deliver workshops both privately and for the Dang Theatre and Tap Syllabus.  During the pandemic I was one the original members of the ISTD Tap Faculty teaching team delivering online classes internationally.
