Her dance background bears a portfolio of classical ballet, hip hop, street jazz, tap, Spanish, Ballroom and Latin. She has qualified up to the Gold Standard in Ballroom and Latin American dancing.
She also furthered her portfolio with her dance tours alongside singer Leslie Loh and the internationally famous British R’n’B act Liberty X. Her professionalism and unique style of dance has captivated audiences in dance tours across major British and Asian cities; including shows in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, New Castle and even Hong Kong, Taipei and Shanghai.
Yet another accolade attached to her career was her successful performance at the Queen Elizabeth II’s Golden Jubilee Celebrations in UK in 2003.
