Job Title: 5x30 Community Activator
Where I work: Teignbridge District
About Me: I currently lead the Dance This Way project for Dance in Devon and Teignbridge Council, and have worked as a freelance community dance practitioner with people from ages 3-100! I studied Dance with Psychology (health and social) and have enjoyed finding where the two subjects meet. I am a qualified YMCA instructor in Exercise to Music and Exercise for frail older adults.
How I achieve my 5x30: Dancing in my kitchen to the radio is one of my most enjoyable ways of exercising, and leading dance sessions too. I like to move outside with other dancers and use the landscape like a big climbing frame to play on! I enjoy walking, especially near the sea and water. I surf (badly) and do very simple basic yoga for relaxation in the garden.
After gaining more information from the Exercise to music qualification, I have wanted to exercise my heart more so have started running. I also love being outside gardening and get great satisfaction from watching something grow and am always amazed when I ache in new places the next day!
