Claire trained from the age of 3 at The Lorraine Day School of Dance, she competed and performed regularly including in the Aldershot Pantomime. She auditioned successfully for the Royal Academy of Dance to study a Bachelor of Arts in Ballet Education, where she stayed for an additional year to study a PGCE in Dance Teaching. She completed a Masters in Education in 2022 focusing on Somatic rehearsal methodology.

 

In addition to having a PGCE Claire has registered teachers’ status with the Royal Academy of Dance and International Dance Teachers Association. She also was accepted as an Assistant Tutor Award approved tutor, a new award available from the Royal Academy of Dance. Claire has taught GCSE and A Level Dance in various schools for over 20years, during which she spent some time self-employed, expanding her teaching to include seated Ballet for the elderly, and Pilates. In the last few years Claire has enjoyed taking classes in Aerial Hoop and Sling, working her way  through the available teacher training since March 2024.

 

Claire relaunched her freelance career mid 2024 with a shift in focus. She really enjoys teaching adults, and therefore has launched more classes aimed at this audience. She has had various operations on her hip which made her revaluate the importance of her body being fit and healthy and wants to help others be happy with their bodies and enjoy exercise. Claire has recently completed a Level 1 course accredited by the Royal Academy of Dance focusing on Parkinson’s.

 

Claire’s drive to allow more student dancers to access GCSE Dance amongst the government cuts in the arts funding has led her to launch the out-of-school GCSE option. She has also started examining for RSL which she finds a hugely accessible exam board.
