Meet InSpire Dance
A Little Bit About Me
Since watching the first season of Strictly Come Dancing at the age of 7, I knew I wanted to become a professional dancer. I went from dancing up and down the supermarket aisles to taking weekly dance classes, then eventually started entering Ballroom and Latin competitions nationally and internationally.
At the age of 17 I began to teach Salsa and Kizomba across the UK. I've always been passionate about working with children and qualified as a primary school teacher in 2019. This was also the year that I retired from competitive dancing and opened my own Ballroom and Latin dance school. In July 2022, we changed the name of the school to InSpire Dance.

Hello
My name is Fran
I teach Ballroom and Latin, Commercial Ballroom and Latin and Baby Ballroom classes.
As a competitor my favourite dance was Rumba! Nowadays I love watching our pupils enjoying themselves while dancing and making friends in classes. I feel so proud when I see the children's determination and concentration as they develop their technique. In my spare time I love to go to different dance classes and challenge myself to learn new styles of dance.
I also work part time as a primary school teacher.
Hello

I'm grateful that my love for dance has enabled me to travel the world performing! My favourite part of my role as a dance teacher is choreographing group dances and I have had the privilege of choregraphing some amazing mass movement performances at sporting events. I teach dancing alongside my full time job as a primary school teacher.
