A former professional dancer, Sho is a highly experienced and qualified dance teacher, examiner and choreographer in many dance forms. A qualified health education practiitioner, Sho specialises in the person centred approach to working with clients in her dance and wellbeing consultancy `DECO' in East Sussex.

In addition to teaching Line Dancing with her husband Josh [also a qualified LD teacher] locally in East Sussex [DECO Dancers], Sho's Line Dance teaching and choreography skills are in demand in the UK and overseas. Earlier this year Sho introduced Line Dancing at a dance teaching convention at a University in Germany.

Sho & Josh have travelled to USA several times Line Dancing and in 1998 took a group of 40 of their Line Dancers to Nashville for a Line Dance holdiay.

Sho is currently researching
Ethics - Dance Teaching, Training and Choreography
for a Doctorate Degree. She has presented aspects of her work to Dance Medicine and Science conferences in UK and USA and will be doing another presentation later this year in Spain. Sho has had a number of articles published in dance magazines relating to dance and health.

Sho is still writing her book on Line Dancing and is determined to finish it - so watch this space.

Her latest Line Dance `Song and Dance Man' is proving a big hit with her dancers of all levels.
