“I began dancing from the age of 2.5 participating in Miss Hatton’s first Ballroom class designed specifically for children. There I developed the skills and technique that would carry on through to adult career and expand my knowledge of dance even further.

Along with Ballroom, I have danced many dance styles including Latin American, Country & Western, Freestyle, Sequence and Team Dancing. These were all great experiences which have since influenced my choice in studying for my Ballroom teacher’s qualification with the tuition knowledge of Miss Hatton. I want to continue my teacher training in many more subjects over years to come.

I urge you all too at least try a form of dancing, it is a skill learned with detailed precision and technique that will make you proud to say that you have achieved. Along with the social aspect that could lead to life long enjoyment and friendship formation. “
