Gwen, lessons dance in Ribbleton

I have been a professional ballet dancer for ten years and have taught for 8. I have taught a variety of levels and ages including children, teens, and adults. Sharing my passion for dance is something I love to do and why I teach. My boyfriend and I recently relocated here for his medical school as we were evacuated from St. Maarten due to Hurricane Irma. I look forward to continuing teaching here in the Preston area! I have enclosed my C.V. For further background and information!
