From September 2016 I’ll be starting my first teaching piano/keyboard lessons at I-Play Music centre in Surrey.

I’ll be teaching intermediate to advance level tap dance classes as part of the Discover Jazz Dance programme of Dance Physics at Lewisham Southwark College. Dance Physics is a new community based initiative aimed at getting all of Lewisham moving and dancing.

In 2016 I joined Kicking The Mic with Laura Kreifman of Guerilla Dance Project.
