After a 20 year corporate career squeezing in dance and fitness around my work and family, I finally took the leap in 2020 to make a big change and incorporate my love of all things Ballroom and Barre into my day job and Ballero was formed! Ballero offers dance and exercise classes with the aim of inspiring others to experience the love of ballroom and the addictive buzz of barre.
I began ballroom dancing aged seven and went on to national competitions between the ages of nine and sixteen winning many events – the highlight of which was becoming a British Championship finalist dancing at the famous Blackpool Tower Ballroom. I qualified as an associate dance teacher in 1995 at the age of eighteen. I returned to the dancefloor in my twenties and regularly competed on the British Open circuit. As a lover of pilates for years I discovered the joy of barre workouts in 2019. I found the strength and conditioning benefits to be so brilliant that I trained with the fabulous Barreworks studio on their accredited instructor training programme. I love that barre classes can be tailored so well for individuals so whatever your level you can be enjoying both a fun and challenging full body workout really safely.
I look forward to seeing you either in the ballroom or at the barre very soon!
