Hi I’m Jane. I have been an avid and enthusiastic mover & dancer since childhood. I’ve been performing in Dance shows and competitions for over 25 years. I have participated in National level competitions from childhood, into adulthood, as well as county level Athletics as a child.

I am a Dancer of over 25 years, a Personal Trainer since 2015, a Dance Teacher since 2015 and a Sports Massage Therapist since 2019. I have taught a range of different people, from young children up to adults over 60, in a range of different activities.

I have been a Dance Teacher, Acro Gymnastics Coach, Personal Trainer, Physical Education Teaching Assistant, Sports Club Coach, Drama Club Teacher, Yoga Teacher and Pole Dance Teacher.

So just a few strings on my bow I would say.

Whether we’re moving for work or play, sport or creativity - either way - knowing how to support our bodies and our minds is vital in that journey.

Alongside my understanding of the body, I have many years experience of how our state of mind affects our relationship to our self, others and the environment we’re in. It wasn’t long into adulthood that my personal experiences, as well as professional and vocational ones, drew me to wanting to learn more about how to support the body & the mind together. That is where my love for teaching dance & movement started and grew.

Since working in a commercial gym and speaking to countless friends, I always felt frustration towards how the Fitness industry was still heavily focused on aesthetic more than function…

Our bodies are amazing vessels that carry us through this short, wonderful life…we ALL deserve to feel confident about what our bodies can DO and how they FEEL more than what they look like. To move well, safely and with no pain. To move well so we can reach our movement goals.

So, my teaching approach and ethos towards movement is focused on just that. What we can DO and how it makes us FEEL. When we feel good and are proud of what our bodies can do, we can start to challenge the unrealistic (and often misogynistic and patriarchal) views of what bodies should be.

I have been a Freelance Teacher & Coach since 2015, starting properly from 2019 after completing my Undergraduate Degree at the University of Birmingham. I have been a Level 3 Sports Massage Therapist since 2019 too, now studying to complete my Level 4 SMT qualification in March 2027.
