About me

I use my extensive experience in Dance and Performing Arts to tailor lessons to the needs of my students.

I have a BA (Hons) in Dance with Performing Arts, a Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) in Performing Arts (Dance) and a Master's in Dance Movement Psychotherapy.

Do you need support with choreographing a solo or group piece?

Would you like support preparing for an practical or written exam or audition? This could be for GCSE Dance or Drama or BTEC Performing Arts or A level Dance.

Do you wish to improve your dance technique or a specific routine and need a highly qualified teacher to provide feedback?

Do you hope to improve self confidence and belief in your abilities as a performing artist?

Are you searching an experienced wedding dance choreographer to create a bespoke wedding dance based are your hopes and dance experience/ability? You choose the song and I will create the rest after an initial introduction.

Are you looking to try a new dance style but prefer to have 121 or couples lessons?

Do you need support in writing an application and/or personal statement for a performing arts college, university or conservatoire?

Would you like to practice your interview skills in a mock interview or audition?

I work flexibly, depending on location, lessons could be in person or online. I can work with young children through to adults.

I am very passionate about the arts and believe there are so many wonderful benefits that the arts can offer students in order to develop their: talents, self esteem, creative expression and improve their physical health as well as their mental wellbeing.

There are no silly requests, if you are after support in an area that I haven't yet mentioned, please do get in touch and I will see if I can provide that support for you.

I can't wait to meet you.

Sophie was so kind and patient with our wedding dance. Neither of us are dancers and Sophie took that into account. She was willing to alter moves to our skill level and really listened to what we felt comfortable with. Although our dance didn't go 100% on the day due to my dress being more restrictive than I realised, Sophie gave us the confidence to make an entrance and use the moves she taught us to still deliver a really special moment. Some of my favourite pictures from the day are of our first dance and that's thanks to Sophie.

My husband and I, asked Sophie to choreograph our first dance for our wedding. I am not ashamed to say that both of us have no dance experience and as for me I am hopeless with any sort of hand eye coordination. Sophie worked with the song that we had chosen and asked what we wanted from the dance. She came up with the most beautiful dance, that allowed us to be pushed to achieve what we wanted and more than we ever realised we could do. She spent hours making sure it was exactly how it should be making any tweaks we wanted, always tailoring it to us. Sophie inspired confidence in both of us so that when it came down to it we knew where we both had to be and forgot anyone else was watching. It couldn’t have been any more perfect. So many of ours guests commented on how wonderful it was and even more surprising to the both of us how well we did. I would recommend for anyone of any level wanting to achieve something special to go to Sophie for memories that will last a lif

Sophie is an excellent dance coach. She choreographed and taught me and my husband our wedding dance and she was amazing from beginning to end. The dance was just right for our abilities, simple to learn but with enough sparkle to wow our guests. Sophie was kind and supportive all the way through and very flexible and creative adjusting the choreography when we found certain steps difficult. Thank you for making our wedding dance so special!
