Different day job: I model for photographers and art classes during the day and sometimes perform as a pole, belly or burlesque dancer at various shows and events around the country.

How long have you been dancing? I have been pole dancing for nine years.

Why did you start teaching? I love teaching because I love to dance and would like as many people as possible to try it.  I really enjoy seeing people gain confidence as they learn more.

I really enjoy teaching people new skills and watching them take that knowledge and fly with it, making it their own.

Favourite Song: I have many favourite songs to pole dance to but right now it's Uprising but Muse.
My favourite burlesque song right now is Paolo Nutini's Pencil Full of Lead (first song I did a burlesque performance to).

Favourite Food: My favourite food is curry.

Favourite Film: My favourite film is V for Vendetta

Most memorable teaching moment: My most memorable teaching moment is watching my first pupil, an extremely shy lady of 47 do her first performance on stage in a busy club after only three months of lessons.  She was amazing.  I welled up.

Most embarrassing teaching moment: I'm not sure about embarrassing teaching moments but I'd been pole dancing for six months when I fell off the pole onto my head during a stage show.
