"Dance has been my life since I was 2 years old, I cant imagine dance not being part of me. I have been so very lucky to fulfil many dreams and aspirations and now I get to pass on my love and passion to my students. One of my favourite quotes "Behind every dancer who believes in themselves, is a teacher who believed in them first" and I for sure believe in every dancer who comes through our doors"
