I was born in 1964 to a dance teacher! 

My mum Mavis ran her own ballet school in her early twenties before having her family. She was also always a member of an operatic society and in later life taught Line Dancing to keep both herself and her class participants fit and well.

 

As a youngster I was taken to ballet classes and then in my teens, ballroom and Latin which became an absolute passion of mine.

I too have always been involved in operatic and singing groups and enjoy being a member of TAOS Taunton Amateur Operatic Society.

 

I enjoyed being a full time mum to my four boys but once I wasn’t needed at home quite so much, I returned to my passion of Dance and trained to be an FLexercise Teacher studying for and passing Level 2 then Level 3 qualifications in Teaching Dance to Adults. I then did a ‘bolt on’ qualification to also teach Zumba Gold.

 

I currently have two weekly FLexercise movement classes, four Zumba Gold classes and one seated class in and around Taunton.

Going to work each day to dance with my class members is a real joy. I am very lucky to be doing what I love.

The movement and the Dance is doing me good physically, mentally and emotionally and that’s what I endeavour to pass on to my participants.
