Who would have believed that an evening class in line dancing at a local school in Toronto fifteen years ago would have caused such a major life change, but it did so for me. From that first evening I was hooked and I have never looked back. An avid dancer from a young age, I delighted in this new form of dance and expanded my interest and love twelve years ago to include choreography and instruction. Since that time I have written over 70 dances and have been privileged to have many dances published and my dance ‘Clap Your Hands’ nominated for ‘Beginner Dance of the Year’ at the 2005 Dancers’ Choice Awards in Vegas. More recently 'Soft & Slow', 'On My Mind', 'Small Stuff', 'Dance Zone', 'Ami Oh', 'Pirate On The Run', 'No Tricks', 'Our First Love', 'Let's Chill, and 'Latin Crazy' have been popular world wide. The most popular YouTube Video is 'My Heart Won't Let Go' (written with Fred Buckley & Double Trouble) which has had over 155,000 views.
Initially instruction was not on my agenda, but I was invited to teach my dances and have now taught at events across Canada, the US, the UK, Japan, Australia and more recently in France. It was an absolute thrill and incredible honour when I was awarded the Dancers' Choice Award for Female Instructor of the Year 2006, which was presented at the Vegas Dance Explosion, and nominated again for the same award in 2007. I was greatly touched that so many dancers nominated and voted for me and very much appreciated their support. My aim with my instruction is to try to ensure that all of the dancers in my classes gain confidence in their ability to learn and that the process is fun. I want them all to leave my class with smiles on their faces.
