I competed successfully for 14yrs across the UK, taking my first serious steps into teaching in 2017, passing my teachers exam in August of that year and then setting up my own Inclusive dance school in April 2018. My Lifelong connection to Freestyle Dance strengthens my approach to a unique and current dance style of teaching in our community. Opportunities to take part in my competitive tribe is open to all dancers, the decision to compete is that of all parents/kids who attend RDA. It is important to me to Promote Positivity and Inclusiveness while setting example’s of way’s my dancers can to be kind to themselves and each other. My teaching ethos is heavily influenced by focusing on 5 key benefits of dance pillars -

I am so very proud of you all! I feel so lucky being your teacher 🄹

I remind every child in every class that I am proud of every single one of them and that everyone always gets a turn of receiving a rosette, sticker or trophy each week šŸ’ and to be happy for one another when it’s someone else’s turn. We love clapping for one another and celebrating eachother at the end of each class.

I made some Magic Spray! A little spritz of courage, kindness & confidence.

At first, being in a new environment felt a little overwhelming for Aurora. She needed time, patience, reassurance and someone to believe in her while she found her confidence within the class.

I was so proud to support her along the way - celebrating every little step, encouraging her and giving her the time and space she needed to feel safe and comfortable to join in to each part of the class.

Some weeks she was beside me for a big percentage of the class, and that was absolutely welcomed as Aurora feeling safe and comfortable within the class was a huge priority of mine.

And now look at her! 🄹
Aurora absolutely thrives every week and she is HAPPY, excited and eager to join in for the full hour and she loves having fun with her friends. She has found her confidence, her smile shines so brightly and she loves dancing!

Seeing the little girl who once needed so much reassurance now happily joining in, expressing herself and dancing with such joy is why I LOVE my job. MINI’s is more than a dance class. 🄰

I’m so incredibly proud of you, Aurora. šŸ’
