Niki has been dancing since she was ten years old when her granny took her to her first 'dance'. This was a ballroom and latin social event in the local church hall full of over 50's enjoying this wonderful form of partner dance. She was hooked and soon after started to attend Clarke's School of Dance where she learned the ten standard dances under the direction of Alan Clarke.

After the six following years she trained and competed in various competitions in Ireland and Scotland. She then went to Study at Liverpool University and accepted the position as the President of the Ballroom and Latin Dance Society where she continued to compete against other Universities.

She also started to explore other dance styles and started to attend adult Ballet and Jazz classes and then found Salsa. She quickly took to Salsa and on moving to London in 2000 started to attend classes nearly every night and take instruction from some of the best teachers from around the world. She just missed out on first place in the British Salsa Championships in 2003 with her partner at the time, Mauro Casali.

She then went on to attain a teaching qualification in Salsa with the UKA in 2004. At the same time she studied and gained a City and Guilds teaching qualification.

She had already started teaching for the Latin Collective and then went on to become a part of the Latin Dance Academy under Susana Montero and Supermario(founders of the LDA).

She still found time to continue studying Contemporary, Jazz and Ballet class and was introduced to various forms of street dance at Pineapple dance studios in Covent Garden. In 2005 she completed a Foundation Course in Contemporary Dance at the University of London as well as completing courses in management, safeguarding children and first aid.

Niki recently attained her associate teacher freestyle qualification with the International Dance Teacher's Association (IDTA) and continues to regularly attend classes in many forms of dance at Pineapple and Dance Works Dance Studios.

It has been her life long dream to run her own dance school and she is very excited about the launch of Danzation and watching it grow. She feels that Dance is the expression of Life and she wants to share her love of it with all her pupils.
