I have been dancing from the age of 4, when I started at Wollaston Ballet School. I completed every grade from Pre-Primary to Grade 8, earning a Merit or higher in all exams.
At age 10, I started at Dance with Danni doing Street dance. Over the years, I gradually increased my repertoire of dance styles in Contemporary, Cheerleading, Tap and Irish lessons. I achieved my street dance exams all the way to level Gold Bar 2 with Distinctions in all exams.
I have completed a Level 3 Btec Extended Diploma in Musical Theatre in which I achieved triple Distinction. I participated in a number of musicals during this course and developed a wealth of experience and skills in dance, acting and singing over the 2 years.
I then studied at Bird College on a foundation course of Professional Dance and Musical Theatre. I learnt lots of very useful skills and exercises to improve and strengthen my dance, acting and singing techniques and skills even further. I am qualified as a IDTA Street Dance Associate and Acrobatic Arts Module 1 Teacher.
Not only did Dance With Danni ignite my passion for dance, which has now become my career, it has helped me become more confident and I want to pass that on to the students I now teach.

I began dancing at the age of 7 at JB’s Dance Studio. Here I trained in Freestyle and Street Dance and worked towards completing IDTA examinations starting at Social Dance award level through to Star 4. I took examinations as a solo, pair and team.
At the age of 16 I continued my training at Dance With Danni. I trained in Street Dance along with other styles such as Contemporary and Jazz. At Dance With Danni I began to develop my performance skills by participating in annual shows, competitions and dancing at Disneyland Paris.
From the age of 14 to 18 I took part in shows at the Leas Cliff Hall as a principle dancer. These shows included a variety of musicals and pantomimes. There were many hours of training in all genres of dance such as Commercial and Lyrical for the performances. To support the shows I also took part in many demonstrations and carnivals in the local area.
Dance With Danni has gave me opportunities to assist teaching in multiple genres of dance since I was 17 years old. I thoroughly enjoyed this process as I love to see students succeed and grow into confident performers. In January 2020 I began my teacher training by achieving my Pre-Associate Award in Street Dance. I am now qualified as a IDTA Street Dance Associate.
In the future I hope to pass my love for dancing and performing onto others. Dancing has always been a huge part of my life and has helped me to build in confidence. Dance with Danni has offered me amazing opportunities which I will be forever grateful for and look forward to seeing others experience these too along with a great passion for dancing.
