Da Beat Studio Dance Staff

I have been performing ln all genres of dance since the age of 3. My main passion is in the style of tap dance in which I have developed a unique tapping technique with the help of all my teachers over the years.
I’d like to take every opportunity given to me to help enhance my dancing and hopefully in the further future, I can use what I have learnt about the performance industry and to teach it to upcoming entertainers.

At the age of 12 I joined a hip hop crew as well as competing as a black belt in taekwondo. at the age of 15 I made the decision to make dance my career and joined Da Beat to study all genres of dance. I’ve always enjoyed teaching and choreographing and love that I get to work with Da Beats amazing students as well as continuing my own learning on the path to becoming a professional dancer.

Growing up I have experienced my fair share of exams, completing CSTD and DMI silver star in tap as a teenager and bronze star in my theatrical studies. However developing knowledge in most genres, My profession is Tap having taught ages from 2-60+ in in the past 5 years.
