My name is Vanessa and I am an actress, teacher and producer currently based in London, United Kingdom. As well as training and performing within the Theatre industry since 2011, I have also taught art disciplines such as acting, singing and dance and dance fitness from the ages of 3 upwards. Some of my performance credits include, Motown The Musical, Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Hairspray and Legally Blonde and currently Stranger Things: The First Shadow. For those that have a keen passion for entering into the Theatre industry, I am able to use my experience to offer professional training across all disciplines and help equip them with tools needed to thrive as a performer. Similarly, for those that enjoy the arts as an extra curricular hobby/space to express themselves creatively, I take pride in holding a creative self space to help my students to unlock self confidence, self belief and their broader imagination as well as strengthening skills such as teamwork, singing, dancing and acting. I am able to hold online classes and work to an international timezone to reach all my students and for those based in London and prefer face to face lessons, I'm able to rent studios or arrange home visits where requested. If you have big goals within the theatre industry or if it's a hobby that you'd like to venture into or pick back up again, please do not hesitate to get in touch. Vanessa :)

Bharatanatyam is a journey that demands discipline, and I understand what it takes to reconnect with movement as an adult in a way that is also joyful, meaningful, and rewarding. In my class, I will take you through the fundamentals (dance theory, technique (adavus, hasthas, bedas etc), and history), while supporting you with a sustained and safe practice. I will also teach choreography to supplement your technique practice and inspire you to feel natural with the Bharatanatyam style and performance. I want to understand your learning goals and tailor my teaching to best support you. I offer private classes online and in-person classes in Oxford. I adapt my teaching methodology for children, adults, intermediate learners and those returning to training/practice after a long break. I speak Tamil, Malayalam and Hindi as well.

“Studying cultural education subjects, such as art and design, dance, drama and music, sparks creativity across the curriculum, encouraging young people to be inquisitive, disciplined and determined. Wherever children start in life, a high quality cultural education should be a right, not a privilege. All of our children deserve a rich cultural education, but not all of them are getting it.” Darren Henley OBE Chief Executive, Arts Council England I can offer Technique, Performance and Examination classes in each genre of dance. Whether for exercise and fun or professional training, my classes will provide a complete knowledge base of dance training.

Awaken the Shakti within, by enlivening the body that we so easily neglect. The sensual is a powerful force that can lay dormant when not moved and nurtured. This class combines ancient forms of dance such as belly dance and the sensual ceremony of the body, to find and ignite the deity within. Belly dance was birthed to honour and alleviate childbirth and period pains, so is deeply rooted in the divine feminine. An energy so essential for the world and its life force. Sensual ceremony of the body invites a presence to be with the body, activating a deep listening, to re-imagine the relationship of the holy trinity within, mind, body and soul. I welcome you with warmth and presence.

After teaching a lot of online dance classes during covid, I feel like the virtual way of teaching is missed by me and a lot of my previous students. My dance classes are based on hiphop foundations, teaching my students fundamental technique through dance moves that build towards routines and choreography. The class helps students to be more active and develop in their confidence without the issues that might arise when dancing in a dance studio amongst others.

In this Raqs Sharqi (Belly Dance) class we focus on awakening feminine energy through fluid movements, hip release and expressive choreography. You will explore a wide variety of hip techniques: from circles and figure eights to shimmies and drops while also working on posture, facial expression and presence. We will learn how different styles are danced, such as drum solos (tabla), darbuka drums which are performed without veil, as well as more lyrical pieces where the veil becomes part of the performance. Attention is given to musicality, cultural context and dress codes for each style, ensuring a balance between technique, creativity and self-expression. This class is both a journey into movement and a space to connect with your inner strength and sensuality. This Contemporary Dance class is a beginner-friendly space for self-expression and creativity. With a focus on emotional support and zero judgement, we explore movement through flexibility, flow and improvisation. You will be guided to connect with your body, release tension and discover your own creative voice in dance. A safe environment where technique meets freedom, encouraging both personal growth and artistic exploration.
