"I studied at the University of Bedfordshire, where I achieved my BA Hons in Dance and Professional Practice. I loved the course as it helped me to develop my own style and practice."

"The teachers were exceptional, the training was challenging and the facilities well organised."

"I’m currently based in the North-East teaching at ‘DANCECITY ‘.  I teach AFROMIX which is Afro-Caribbean and African style dance."

"I ran my own dance school for 4 years called ‘Annesha's School Of Dance’. I taught hip hop, contemporary, jazz , baby ballet and fitness."

"I was able to apply for a business grant through the Princes Trust where I became a young ambassador through the worked with them for a year. This was a great opportunity as I got to do motivational talks at public places and trial out my classes before opening my business."

"While I was studying I  I decided to set up a dance society at the University. I taught a hip hop class every week and then added other teachers for more classes."

"I enjoyed teaching, entering competitions, designing t-shirts and hoodies and performing at shows. I’m proud that the dance sodiety is still running, and that I have opportunities to go back and teach there."

"I aspire to perform and teach around the UK and internationally too."
