I’ve always loved dancing and music. I joke that I came out of the womb dancing—and if you watch my friends’ Bar-Mitzvah videos you’ll usually find the camera zooming in on my footwork!

​

For me, dance is the best way to relax, de-stress and have fun, which is exactly what drew me to Zumba. I loved the idea that I could do what I enjoy most while getting fit at the same time - and I was instantly hooked on the music, energy and positive atmosphere.

​

I’ve been dancing Salsa for over 20 years and Bachata since it first became popular. Before that I trained in Hip-Hop, taking classes at the famous Pineapple Studios in London and from Beyonce's backing dancer in Manhattan. I also studied music, which really helps me connect with the rhythms and teaching the Zumba choreography.

​

I have some crazy dance credits including: Dancing with Diversity – the Hip-Hop dance crew who won Britain’s Got Talent, in the Opening Ceremony of London’s Paralympics and on various TV programmes. I'm also the official UK Macarena Champion (long story!). I also performed in numerous musicals including Evita in London's West End and West Side Story at the Edinburgh Festival.

​

What I love most about teaching is seeing people enjoy themselves, gain confidence and leave class feeling happier, more relaxed and more energized than when they arrived.

​

The music and choreography in my classes is eclectic, ranging from Salsa, Bachata, Cumbia, Socca, Samba and Reggaeton to Hip-Hop, Pop, Middle Eastern and Flamenco.

​

My classes are all about great music, lots of energy and a friendly, welcoming atmosphere where everyone, whatever their age or ability, can join in, move and have fun.​
