I began Ballet at the age of five
years and later at seventeen I left Dublin (Ireland) to train
professionally as a ballet dancer at The Bush Davies School and then
further at Laine Theatre Arts in England; I performed professionally
with PACT Ballet Company, in Pretoria South Africa, Nightstar Dance
Company Dublin Ireland. I then trained professionally as a ballet
teacher with the Royal Academy of Dance, London, specialising in
Vocational Level. I am a fully registered teacher with The Royal Academy
of Dance, London (RAD). I also hold the teaching qualification with the
Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD).
I have worked here in Freiburg since 2009 at several ballet schools in the local Freiburg area, teaching Ballet, RAD Exam coaching, Repertoire and Floor Barre.

I now begin my own school Ballet Elegant
My curiosity to further understand
and inter-connect the body with the movement (including its texture and
dynamic) and to deliver a clear and precise connection between the two
for my students, continues to fuel my own personal and professional
development.
My teaching style and approach to
class and to my student's is enriched with my love of dance. I continue
as I first began in Ballet, as a dancer and maintain my own technical
level with Professional Ballet Training at Marameo (Berlin) and regular
Yoga practice. As a ballet teacher, I find my inspiration from various
sources including; Eric Franklin (Dance Imagery), Ester Juon - Pointe
Shoe Fitting (Training completed), Feldenkrais, Body-Work, Psychology,
Anatomy and Nature.
