Prior to coaching in Solihull, I taught at Bracknell Ice Rink for almost 10 years. During that time I coached many solo dance champions and also had successful dance couples in British Junior Ice Dance Championships. I've choreographed numerous performances from championship level ice dance to Ice Show group/ensemble numbers. My considerable experience includes working with beginner skaters on Skate UK Learn to Skate courses and also birthday party groups.
For many years, I worked alongside world renowned British dance coach Jimmy Young at his very successful Ice Dance School in Engelberg, Switzerland.
Now at Solihull, I am currently coaching a senior solo dance championship competitor and along with my dance partner Duncan Lenard, I hope to help future Solihull skaters to develop and achieve their potential.
