Always interested in trying and exploring new concepts and coming up with one with a creative mindset! The idea of Power, Soul and Bollywood Kathak was inspired by the logic of Power Yoga highlighting its difference from the usual we know.
Hence, with this concept, I look forward to sharing my expertise to all the young and creative minds.

My three main areas of expertise (not necessarily in this order):

- Chess: I teach chess to beginners and intermediate players up to ELO 1800 or ECF 1700, working on the tactical and strategic aspects of openings, middle games and endgames.. "chess is life in miniature"!

- Fitness / Running / Triathlon: I coach people who want to get fitter and generally incorporate any endurance activity into a health(ier) lifestyle. I am a dedicated coach who has competed in several marathons and Ironman races (also qualified for the Ironman World Championship). I focus on nutrition, stress and sleep as well for a holistic approach.

- Languages: I specialize in tutoring Italian and Spanish; my style is to keep students challenged and motivated through simple classes and practical exercises (pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary).. I'm a demanding teacher but will guide you in a fun and interactive way.

Please contact me if you have any interest in spending more time and energy in any of these 3 areas, and don't forget that "Mens Sana in Corpore Sano" is a good approach to look after yourself :)

If you've always wanted to try tap dancing this is your chance to go for it!

In this class we will explore this beautiful combination of dancing and music making from the very basics and up!

Tap dancing is very easy, it's all about weight chance and rhythm, through exercises we can improve a lot in a very short time.

I am a professional dance artist who can offer tuition in Contemporary Dance, Ballet, Creative Dance, Tap, Modern, and Choreography. With experience dancing on stage, in commericals and music videos as well as teaching around the country, co-founding the UK Dance Federation and co-creating the technical and creative content of the 8 Rambert Grades (a new contemporary dance syllabus), I draw from all of these experiences to cater the class to your needs. I have taught individuals from age 2-80+ of all abilities and believe everyone should be given the opportunity to experience dance.

Ballet can be an incredible tool for a healthy body and mind. A mix of flexibility, strength, coordination, cardio and artistry are present on the daily life of those who dance, there is no right age to start it and the benefits are more than just physical.

Private classes would be settle based on your needs and aims, having a really specify and well-planned routine to intensifying the body response.

Vivian is a professional with 7 years of experience on teaching, previously worked as a maitre de ballet with Deborah's Colker company, and also as a ballet teacher on Center of Movement - Brazil for 5 years.

I offer 1-2-1 sessions in dance across Jazz, Contemporary and Commercial. In these sessions I work on technique, strength and flexibility whilst having a fun enjoyable time dancing. This can be great for dancers who are preparing for college auditions, competitions or simply want to work individually to make more progress. I focus my class on the needs of each individual student and aim to bring out the confidence and unlock potential in each child.

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.
