Hey there! I’m thrilled to welcome you to my little corner of the internet. As a 27-year-old dancer and content creator based in Birmingham, UK, I’m excited to share my story and passion with you.

Dancing Thru Life

My journey with dance began at the age of 8, sparking a passion that has shaped my life ever since. Over the years, I’ve dedicated countless hours to honing my skills in Ballroom & Latin dancing, developing a deep appreciation for the intricate connection between music and movement.

My dance career taken me far beyond the local studios of Birmingham. I’ve had the privilege of representing the UK in international competitions, traveling to diverse locations across Europe, as well as to Russia and Canada. These experiences not only refined my dancing abilities but also broadened my cultural horizons.

One of my earliest public appearances was on the TV programme “Baby Ballroom: The Championships” when I was 8 years old. This early exposure to the competitive dance world fueled my ambition and set the stage for my future endeavors.

Pandemic Pivot

Like many others, the COVID-19 pandemic in the UK threw a curveball into my life. But as they say, when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade – or in my case, you start creating content! I dove headfirst into the world of social media, focusing on dance reels and TikToks. What started as a way to stay connected and creative during lockdowns has blossomed into an exciting new career path.

Content Creation: The Next Chapter

While dance will always be my first love, I’ve discovered a new passion in content creation. I’m inspired to expand my horizons and explore new ways to connect with my audience. From travel vlogs to lifestyle content, I’m excited to share more of my world with you.

Wanderlust and Rhythm

Traveling and music have become integral parts of my life, largely influenced by my dance career. Competing internationally opened my eyes to the world beyond Birmingham, sparking a genuine curiosity for different cultures and places.

These experiences have shaped my perspective, inspiring me to seek out new destinations even when I’m not performing. Each trip offers fresh insights, whether it’s exploring local dance scenes, discovering unique musical traditions, or simply immersing myself in unfamiliar surroundings.

My musical tastes have also evolved through these travels and my dance background. While I appreciate various genres, I’m particularly drawn to Latino and Afro-inspired music. The complex rhythms and vibrant energy of these styles resonate deeply with me, both as a dancer and a listener. This affinity influences not only my personal playlists but also the music I choose for my content creation.

Through travel and music, I continue to find new sources of inspiration, enriching both my personal life and my creative endeavors.!

Teaching and Connecting

One of my greatest joys is sharing my love of dance with others. I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll soon be offering dance tutorials on my Instagram. Whether you’re a seasoned dancer or have two left feet, I can’t wait to help you find your rhythm!

I also love connecting with my fans on my subscription platforms. It’s a more intimate space where we can interact, share experiences, and grow together.

So there you have it – a little glimpse into my world of dance, travel, and content creation. I’m so excited to have you along for this journey. Let’s dance, explore, and create together!
