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 where I was the Director of HE Programmes. .  I am currently a tap and academic tutor for Performer's College, Birmingham since its opening in 2021.

 

I continue to  deliver workshops both privately and for various organisations, such as All England Dance, International Dance Supplies, The Dang Syllabus and British Association of Teachers of Dancing (BATD).   During the pandemic I was one the original members of the ISTD Tap Faculty teaching team delivering online classes internationally.
