About me:

I fell in love with dance at 5 years old, starting with ballet like so many kids do. Back then, the thought of dancing on stage terrified me. But just two terms of Jazz with Dean, and the stage became my canvas.

Now, 8 years with Danceman later, I've danced everything from Jazz, ballet, and musical theatre to contemporary, cirque, commercial, and Hip Hop. Every style has taught me something new, but Hip Hop has a special place in my heart. 

What I'm most grateful for in this journey is the confidence dance has given me. Since joining Red Star Dance, I've been surrounded by supportive teachers and dancers—people who encourage, challenge, and lift each other up.  I've learned that sometimes, all it takes is someone to grab you by the shoulders and guide you through the storm to the rainbow on the other side.

Now, my goal is to be that person for others—helping dancers discover their own confidence and find their way on this amazing journey. 

Experience:

Achieved performance levels through to level 8 with honours and above.

Competed at numerous competitions across the North Island in Jazz squads and Hip Hop crews.

Awarded two gold tickets and danced at the DanceNZMade Gold Awards three years in a row.

Had the privilege of dancing in the inaugural Dance Unique 2024 show.

Red Star Dance shows such as Kings and Queen's and Rain on me.

Instructor for Red Star Dance Holiday Programmes.
