Twinkle Toes – Lyrical

Denise fell in love with teaching dance more than a decade ago and has never looked back since. She has extensive experience working with children and adults and teaches a wide range of dance styles including ballet, jazz, show choir, swing, Zumba and barre. She is also a freelance dancer and a fitness trainer. With a formal background in ballet, Denise achieved straight distinctions with the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD UK) for the Grades 3-8 examinations. She has also completed her Major Levels Intermediate and Advanced Certifications (RAD Vocational Graded – Advanced 1) and achieved her RAD Certificate in Ballet Teaching Studies (RAD CBTS) in 2010. She has since ventured into other dance genres such as modern jazz, attaining graded certifications with ATOD and CSTD. Denise’s teaching style incorporates a lot of imagery with an emphasis on guided discovery. She aims to impart passion and compassion to her students using dance as a force to unite people.
