About me

My Story

I was the worst in all my dance classes growing up, and didn’t realise how much I loved dancing until I rediscovered Modern Jive as a teenager. Even then I found it challenging to learn and took long time to get any good, fortunately my passion and some amazing people kept me at it.

I used to frequently pull ‘I’m making fun of myself’ faces when styling out moves because I believed the way I wanted to dance would appear silly, so at least then I could then pretend I was simply having a laugh. It was a while later that I started receiving genuine compliments about my abilities and realised that going all out with styling and dancing from the heart is what people really connect with; it’s almost impossible to not connect with raw, human emotion. Something frequently mentioned by compliment-givers was their desire to “be as brave”, “possess the skills”, “be able to” do like I do.

As we all know when considering this possibility this for others, they absolutely can. However we tend to under-estimate how far we can do this ourselves, and that’s what I like to help people change - their self-limiting beliefs about dance!
