I have a passion for dance and music which was ignited in early childhood and has endured a career outside the dance profession. This passion has finally found its ultimate fulfillment in teaching. I am a qualified RAD dance teacher and have had 5 years experience teaching young children. Having returned to ballet at a rather later stage in life than others I am acutely aware and have experienced first hand the difficulties to be encountered by those who are returning to ballet after a long break or indeed by those who have never studied ballet. In providing the teaching for the beginners course I aim to ignite/reignite in students the same passion for dance which I feel myself. Dancing enables us to express our joy, our delight, our frustration whilst providing a physical outlet to keep us fit. I will provide classes which slowly build sufficient technique to provide an outlet for self-expression and which are ultimately fun, friendly and full of music !
Sophie is also a mother of two sons and is an avid Monday morning class participant. After a hiatus from teaching, Ballet 4Life is pleased to welcome her back in 2012.
