Pilates for Dancers, Franklin Method for Dancers and Somatic Movement for Dancers Virtual and In Person.
Optimal and Healthy Dance Matters
I am One Dance UK healthcare practitioner for Pilates, Somatic Movement as well as Franklin Method® and am also a member of the Dance Leaders Group. in Birmingham. I align with their values for healthy dance and for making movement spaces safe spaces and as inclusive as I can be within my own scope of practice.
I work in my own private practice with dancers both virtually and in person and am the Pilates and Wellbeing Tutor for Fabric Centre for Advanced training as well as Yuva Gati National Centre for Advanced Training.
I have also worked with small contemporary dance companies as well as pre vocational and vocational students and professional dancers at every stage in their career.
I’ve been on my own journey through dance as a dancer and dance teacher, as well as training with my own teachers who themselves have been dancers and continue to work with dancers in their own practice.
In addition I am DBS cleared, have up to date safeguarding training and have completed BAID (Black Artisits in Dance) training. Within my own training I am also a trauma informed practitioner and a somatic therapist currently in training so I have a very deep awareness of body, mind and spirit within movement work.
