For those with chronic illness, disability, or injury

Having a disability or chronic illness shouldn't stop you from participating, but it can be harder to find something that works for you. 

I am a qualified PE Teacher and Dance teacher. I spent many years touring as a professional dancer, working for a large holiday company and touring with Europe's number 1 MJ touring tribute show. 

When I became chronically ill, I searched for activities to try and couldn't find much that was suitable. It made me question how many others were facing the same challenges and I was determined to increase opportunities in disability sport. 

I now adapt dance classes to work in my wheelchair & I love being back doing what I love again! I have a new appreciation of what my body can do & I am truly grateful for every opportunity I've been given. I hope to show others that having a disability doesn't mean you have to stop doing what you love.

Dance is a great way to improve your fitness, achieve new goals, improve mental health and increase self confidence.

I am now back to performing, this time as a professional wheelchair dancer. I performed at the Wheelchair Basketball National Finals in 2024. I am hoping to find more professional performance opportunities in the future and I continue to dance with a local dance group, I just adapt the dances to work in my chair. 

My goal is to create a wheelchair dance performance team in the UK!
