MEET THE NSG FAMILY

I remember watching television as a young teenager and seeing people dance and thinking that's so cool, I want to learn how to do all that.  So that is exactly what I did, I started trying to teach my self at home and in the garden whenever I got the chance.  I then found out about the auditions for Flava (from Britains Got Talent) in Cornwall and thought, why not go for it?  Although I may not have been the best at the auditions they said they saw something in me and wanted to give me a chance - it was the greatest day and the start of a brand new life.  Since then I have had a very successful career performing and teaching all over the world.  I have performed with people such as: Olly Murs, Alesha Dixon, Ellie Goulding,  Dizzy Rascal, and many more.  I have also been luck enough to learn from some of the best teachers in the world.   Although I loved every minute performing, my teaching career has been just as rewarding. I have taught in the Philippines, LA, Germany and even in a young offenders institute.  I have a great passion for teaching and passing on everything I have learnt over the years, which is why I’m so excited to be part of setting up NSG and helping it grow into an amazing company.

I started dance at the age of 5, doing Tap, Ballet, Modern and Jazz.  It wasn’t until I was a bit older that I started contemporary and found the style I’m probably most passionate about.  A style that could free you and you were able to truly express yourself in whatever way you felt fitting.  This is when I knew I wanted to pursue dance and started auditioning for professional colleges.  I only applied for ones where I was able to do my teacher training, as I had always been passionate about working with children and young people, so this was important for me.  I got in and trained at Margaret Howard Theatre college graduating with an FDI in Modern Dance and Tap Dance, as well as doing the performance course.  I couldn’t have asked for a better result.  Since then I have professionally performed on cruise ships, at Disneyland, Wembley Arena, ITV and many more venues before deciding to move onto teaching.  I always knew my love lied with teaching and watching our students develop into amazing young people.  I am now extremely happy to have been part of setting up NSG and can’t wait to watch all of our students grow in talent and confidence and for all the exciting things to come.

 I am extremely passionate about giving all my students the opportunity to express themselves through the arts as I believe it can help build a person’s confidence and self-belief.  I have been dancing since the age of 5, starting in street dance and musical theatre, this is where my initial love for dance and performing came from.  At the age of 14 I started contemporary and fell in love with how much you can express yourself through this particular style of dance. I Studied dance at north Hertfordshire college for 2 years and left with an extended diploma.  Throughout the last 5 years I have taken part in multiple showcases, flash mobs, and also had the opportunity to perform at Westminster abbey for Commonwealth Day.  I have performed a few times for Richard Branson and performed at Wembley arena for we day twice.  I thrive from watching people grow in confidence and in their performing skills and find teaching extremely rewarding.
