I have danced since a child, starting with Ballroom, Latin American, Old time and Modern sequence.  I qualified at age 18 and reached fellowship standard in NATD and Membership in ISTD.  I taught in a studio for 11 years until my main career made continuing not possible. 

 I taught medallists and achieved the highest possible exam level with students.

I started line dancing July 2005, lured by a free lesson and went along to keep my friend company with the usual preconceptions re thumbs down trousers.  

It was the music of Dario G Sun chyme to T-bone shuffle and I was "hooked" 

from first lesson (wearing my 3" latin shoes!!)

After 2 years I joined Hazel Pace at Stoke on Trent, after being taught by her in Malta. 

She has totally inspired me to learn as much as possible.    I trained and qualified as D&G instructor in January 2010 after a very thorough and excellent training by Jeff Mills.

I have now set up my own Class and will be starting in March 2010. 

I still work as a Registered Nurse.
