The choreographer started her career developing her own style of jazz dancing which was heavily influenced by modern American jazz dance.
She taught this unique style at different London studios such as the Pineapple Dance Studios and the Italia Conti Stage School.
Some of the most famous works she's been involved in included the 1982 film Annie and the Duran Duran song The Wild Boys which was named best British Music Video in 1985.
