About me:
I trained professionally as a ballerina in Germany and am passionate about all forms of dance. I am outgoing and adventurous & love trying everything new & different - since leaving Hamburg Ballet I took a few years out to attain a degree in Anthropology, studied Thai at a Bangkok university, travelled to Everest Base Camp and was chosen to meet His Holiness the Dalai Lama. I have been working in finance in between my adventures and am currently a collateral analyst for an Investment Bank in London, whilst still supporting my first love - DANCE! In recent years I have branched out into other disciplines including acrobatic pole dancing, street & hip hop. I am a qualified Fitness Instructor (REPS Level 2)and am teaching Pole Dancing at World & UK Champion Elena Gibson's prestigious Pole Dancing School, London. I am also completing a Diploma in Pilates Instructing to compliment my dance & fitness interests whilst working on a new Entertainment project with a world class choreographer.
