​

Born and raised in Manchester, England, Abi has been dancing since she was 5 years old.  Following the IDTA and RAD syllabi, Abi took regular exams in tap, ballet and modern jazz, gaining a distinction in her RAD intermediate ballet exam. At 16 she gained a place at Phil Winstons TheatreWorks, a professional dance college in Blackpool England. Here Abi trained full time for 3 years, performing in the college production twice a year and continuing to expand her knowledge in various styles of dance. Whilst at college she also studied and undertook her first level teaching exams in ballet, tap and modern jazz. Over the 3 years, Abi continued her teaching qualifications in modern jazz graduating with 3 certificates as well as an anatomy and physiology diploma. 

After completing her professional training Abi gained her first professional contract performing in a show in Casablanca, Morocco. Following this, Abi toured Bulgaria as part of the Balkanski circus.

Having lived in Australia since 2016 Abi is so excited to pass on her knowledge of dance to the students at Waves and looks forward to helping inspire and nurture the next generation of dancers!
