She graduated Auckland Unitec with a bachelor’s degree in Performing and Screen Arts, with a major in Contemporary Dance, and continued to pursue a dance career whilst working in Auckland, Rotorua and Melbourne.

"Good variety and pace. I improved within the session. I liked how I was given options for each set and the length of the set gave me a goal. I felt pushed without feeling like a failure. Very enjoyable and look forward to the next class. I hope they continue outside because the beautiful view makes a difference too."
