Dancing Miss Daisy Founder: Daisy 

Black and white portrait of a young woman (Daisy) with light-colored hair, smiling slightly, wearing a spaghetti strap top.

Dancing Miss Daisy came from the pursuit of my two passions: Dance and working with those with SEND.

Alongside my career as a professional Dancer, I worked to support young people with complex learning needs, which was incredibly fulfilling.

I hold a Diploma in Dance Education, a Diploma in Dance Instruction & a Level 6 National Diploma in Professional Dance, as well as having over a decade of experience in SEND and mainstream settings, and Foundation level Special Yoga training.

I endeavour to deliver high quality, well planned Dance lessons with an ever evolving teaching practice informed by my varied career.

I truly love what I do, and sharing my lifelong passion for Dance gives me a joy that makes my Mondays, and every day, wonderful.
