About me
I'm a certified Level 2 Exercise to Music professional with a passion for dance, movement, and joyful self-expression. I currently teach dynamic dance wellness classes, including twerk-inspired fitness and, of course, samba, my greatest passion.
Samba has completely transformed my mind, body, and soul, and my mission is to help others experience that same joy, confidence, and freedom through movement.
While I initially learned samba online, I have since trained (and continue to train) with the best samba teachers in the UK and Brazil, deepening my knowledge of its rhythm, technique, and rich cultural roots.
With me, you’ll learn more than just the steps—you’ll discover how each movement is a celebration, each jiggle a declaration of joy. Together, we’ll embrace the energy of Brazilian rhythms, turning every dance session into an exhilarating, uplifting experience.
Come dance with me and let’s celebrate movement, music, and happiness!
