Hi! I'm Cheryl Anne and I am a fully qualified Dance Instructor with 38 years of teaching experience and 43 years of dancing experience in total.
I grew up in a dancing world as, my Mum and Dad owned Eric and Lynne's Dance Studios in Linthorpe in Middlesbrough. They were Latin and Ballroom National champions in years gone by and then turned professional and took on their own Dance Studios. This was a great environment growing up and I lived and breathed dancing in every way. It is my passion and this has never changed.
I am experienced in Latin American, Ballroom, Salsa, Latino, disco/freestyle and Dancasize classes. I have a great intermediate Latino dance class for anyone with some experience with Latin American or who is willing to give it a go!! I can adapt the routine to help new beginners!
​​
Dancasize, my other class available, is a type of dancing which allows a lot of flexibility in the routines for freestyle. With my background of disco classes, I have combined aerobics with disco! Dancasize is more aerobics based, fun, exciting, catchy and it appeals to the absolute beginner to the more advanced dancer. Again, I can give different options for beginners up to a more advanced level.

BACKGROUND
PILATES-
DANCING-
Due to my love of dancing and the fitness world, and for my own progression, I wanted to always become a Pilates instructor. I plucked up the courage to study whilst working full time and continuing my dancing part-time. Once qualified, I left my full time job to concentrate on my fitness classes and I have increased my thirst for knowledge further with lots of courses but the most specialised one, is the most up to date pelvic floor and core course. This was so eye opening for me and the knowledge gained, has allowed me to help people to understand how and why we should exercise a certain way to help this often taboo area of the body! This has enhanced my group session planning but I am also formulating a specialised pelvic floor course for the future.
I also created a 6 week holistic Pilates small group session (I have 3 running currently) which has been a great success. It includes meditations, breath work for relaxation, holistic approach to pilates exercise with soft lighting and no more than 7 in a group. A bespoke session dedicated to wellbeing and learning to use the techniques for every day life.
