FELLOW AND INTERNATIONAL EXAMINER WITH THE NATD AND CHAMPION ADJUDICATOR :

I was born in Birmingham, England and started dancing ballet and tap at the age of 3. At age 6, I began my training in Ballroom and Latin dancing. My love of dancing grew from that time on. I entered into my first junior competition 1 year later. At 17, I turned professional and obtained my Associate Membership certificates in Ballroom and Latin dancing all before the age of 21. I am currently a Fellow in both Ballroom and Latin Dancing. I have also successfully completed the examinations in Old Time and Freestyle. I continued the competition circuit up until I came to the United States and have entered in major competitions throughout Europe.

Since I came to Boston, I became certified in the American Style of Smooth and Rhythm dancing. I trained many college dance teams including Northeastern, UMass Amherst, Harvard, and MIT. I am an active member of the National Association of Teachers of Dance (NATD), and the National Dance Council of America.

I was the owner/director of Footloose Dance Studio in Malden, MA from 2002. I teach all levels of International Ballroom and Latin dances as well as American Smooth and Rhythm. I have students at all levels for private, group classes, and wedding couples. We teach both competitive and social styles. We also enter into many Pro-Am competitions throughout the US and Canada.

I am also an examiner certified from the National Association of Teachers of Dance (U.K.). I have worked as an adjudicator/ judge of multiple competitions and had the pleasure of judging at the Blackpool, UK competitions in 2024, and 2025.

I actively work with individuals with disabilities and with rescue animals. I have taught dance classes for people with disabilities and limitations and prepared them for dance examinations.
