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.

Aged 18 years she became a Student Teacher with her childhood dance school. She then attended the Sheen Academy Teacher Training College and successfully passed her Professional Associate Examination with the ISTD. A few years later, she went on to pass the Professional Teaching Diploma Examination.
The Diploma Examination covers other aspects of teaching including, Health and Safety, Analysis of Movement, First Aid, Dance Related Anatomy and Injury Prevention. Louise is also qualified with the Council of Dance Education & Training, a qualification that required examinations in child psychology, and child safety and protection.
Louise regularly attends Teaching Courses held by the ISTD, keeping up to date with current teaching styles, methods and syllabi requirements.
