Louise started dance classes aged 7. She went on to successfully
pass her children’s Grades examinations and majors, whilst annually
taking part in Pantomimes and other Performances.
At the age of 16 she moved with her family to Dorset. There she
worked with several teachers and examiners, while assisting with
classes. She also participated in local festivals, performances and
assisted with classes.
Although opportunities to dance professionally came her way, she
decided teaching was her passion and worked towards her
Professional Teaching Qualifications.
