My dance training spans from over 15 years of RAD Ballet, ISTD Tap, Modern & Jazz, plus Acrobatics training. I trained in Contemporary Dance at Trinity Laban Conservatoire for a year in 2015, as well as professional training classes at Brum Dance Net for 3 years after this. Since then, alongside keeping up dance classes, I have been training in Pole Dance & Burlesque for 4 years, which is my most prominent performance style of recent. I have also practiced Commercial Heels for 2 years.

My performance experience spans from performing in group dances, duets and trios as well as solos throughout my dance training as a youth as well as young adult. As mentioned above, I have performed in a variety of Pole & Cabaret shows, including dancing in both Femme and Masc styles. As a Queer performer, my gender fluidity is expressed often through different performances. I think this makes me not only multifaceted but also authentic to myself. I am known for amazing musicality, expressive and entertaining performances.

I have also taught dance for 10 years and pole dance for 2 years.
