Service Description

I have been a dance teacher for over 10 years in Canada and the UK focusing on contemporary, hiphop, lifts and strength & conditioning. I also have extensive teaching experience in theatre, jazz, stiletto heels and ballet. Having trained, choreographed and performed in New York (Broadway Dance Centre International program) and Los Angeles (Dana Foglia Dance Company & Debbie Allen Dance Academy), I took my teaching and choreography home to Canada and abroad to the UK. Being a personal trainer and a long time athletics coach strength and conditioning has always been a huge part of my teaching. Learning anatomy and the functions of muscle groups in the body is vital to proper technique and providing a strong base to build a healthy lifestyle. I have been a personal trainer for 8 years specializing in athletes, first responders and law enforcement, fascial tissue therapy and neuro-connective rehab. Pulling from these experiences and from my own personal rehabilitation only made me a better teacher. Without proper cross training many dancers will develop imbalances and potential injury, this has been a driving force in my teaching. To bring students to a potential of surpassing their physical limits they thought they had, while making sure they do this safely.
