What do you love most about teaching?

I'm looking forward to finding out!

What does swing dancing mean to you?

Swing dancing is a language that I am privileged to have discovered and learned. It's amazing that I can go pretty much anywhere and connect with people through dance.

What’s your favourite jazz song or artist?

I could not possibly choose but I'm a sucker for anything that features a clarinet.

Fun fact or secret talent?

I played the baritone saxophone for four years and competed at national festivals with my school jazz band.
