About Me

My LIFE-LONG PASSION

I am very happy to share my dance experience with my students in my ballroom / latin dance classes.

I have been passionate about dance since I was young, and have been an avid dance enthusiast almost my whole life. I practiced Chinese dance and folk dance in school, and competed in the High School Dance Festival in Hong Kong.

My specialty is International Ballroom and Latin dance. I also enjoy Salsa, West Coast swing and Argentine Tango.

As a competitor I have participated in many dance competition events around the world. I take pleasure in teaching and enjoy the opportunity to pass on the knowledge I have acquired from my many years of training with the top teachers the world over.

My coaches include many notable names including: Anne Lewis,  Arunas Bizokas, Hazel Newberry, Geoffrey Hearn, Denis Tremblay , Taliat Tarsinov, Glenn Weiss, Victor Fung, Martin Harvey, Ginette Cournoyer, Pierre Allaire, , Mireille Veillenx, Glen Brennan, Ann Harding, Yitka Bouma, Gilles Bettner, Theo Peters and Alain Douce,
