I have over two decades of teaching experience. I have taught throughout Europe and the U.S. at places like UW-Madison, UIUC, Boston Conservatory, Brown University and at various other places in Germany, Spain and Turkey. I am a dance historian and critic, Roma scholar, Flamenco historian and peace activist and have taught a variety of these courses in Higher Education, as well as worked in various socio-economic environments with a diverse student body.
I have training in working with Dancers with disabilities as well as teaching dance to the elderly, creative dance for children, dance history, dance writing and dance for dementia. I have offered dance classes to refugee and asylum seekers in various parts of Europe and have also taught at local dance studios and pre-professional training programmes throughout the UK and abroad. I am available for lecture-demonstrations, talks, lectures and for other consultancy work.
