She has a passion for teaching and takes great pleasure in passing on the knowledge and experience she has gained whilst watching dancers evolve. She's been invited by several establishments to teach workshops, including Manchester City College and the Conway Centre in Anglesey. She has also taught company class to the principals and soloists of the Chinese National Ballet during their tour with Akram Khan Dance Company. She regularly gives private tuition to young aspiring dancers, and runs classes for professional dancers who are in between jobs. She has worked with dancers from Royal Ballet School, Central School of Ballet, Elmhurst, Hammond, Northern Ballet School, Dresden Semper Oper, English National Ballet, Bern Ballet, Royal Ballet Company and La Scala. She recently founded a dance company which performs at various events (corporate and private), allowing her to pursue her other passion of choreographing.

Neil Towers

Neil started dance at the age of 11 in an amateur theatre company and eventually started taking jazz lessons at his local dance school. A year later he decided that dancing was what he wanted to do as a career and started learning ballet too. At the age of 13, he successfully auditioned for the royal associates and continued his training there until the age of 16. In 2005 Neil received a scholarship to attend the Northern Ballet School. During his time at NBS he also attended SIBA (Salzburg International Ballet Academy) twice during the summer holidays. In December 2007, he was invited to replace a dancer who had stepped out at the last second in Leith’s Dance Company’s production of ‘Fusion’. Upon graduating from Northern Ballet School Neil accepted a contract with Slovak National Ballet. He has since turned his talents to teaching and holds his own classes in Manchester City Centre.
