Different day job: EA/Operations Manager
What do you love most about dancing: I love how it makes me feel afterwards, and the fact it means I can eat what I want!
Why did you started teaching dance: Drunken friends begging me every time we went out to teach them, and then other teachers asking me to cover their classes. I started out privately and realised I enjoyed it even more than performing.
Why you love teaching at Polestars: Polestars gives me peace of mind that everything will be provided for and well organised. Plus, they're always introducing new, amazing products that I get to learn. I get paid to do something I love.
Fave song to pole dance to: I can't poledance for toffee, but hope to learn that later this year.
Fave song to burlesque dance to: Big Spender or Mannish Boy
Best dancing experience: Dancing with the Bedouin in Egypt, I was so nervous and it was such an honour. I was asked back as well so they must have enjoyed it too.
Best teaching moment: Teaching a friend a move that her previous teacher couldn't help her with.
Most embarrassing teaching moment: Being told to mind the step before going on stage...and then tripping straight over it on to the stage.
Most embarrassing burlesque moment: Demonstrating a move and then realising that my outfit was so tight I couldn't do it!
Hobbies other than dancing: Cooking food, eating food, growing food...
Where we can find you: I've been belly dancing for 10 years and as a result you may see me performing at various haflas and venues throughout the country, including www.planetegypt.co.uk www.pinkbellydancing.com and www.jwaad.com/fantasia.htm as a solo act or as part of the troupe - 'Daughters of Hathor' for Dawn Harvey (aka Zenuba). I also perform and teach privately and I'm in the process of setting up my website so watch this space for video clips of me dancing and teaching.
