Founder of Fresh Dance & Arts Centre & Dance Teacher

 

Fresh In Your Heels 

Tuesdays (fortnightly) 7:10pm - 8:10pm

​

Dance is my number one passion in life. I studied ballet, tap & modern from the age of 5 – 11. However I was always excited and inspired by Breaking and Hip Hop style dance. One of my favourite films from a very young age is ‘Breakdance’. Prior to Fresh I was in a street dance troupe from the age of 13 – 19. I have taught dance in Bristol and Bath since the age of 19 to young people and adults.

 

My career expanded as a Choreographer when I taught in The Egg, Theatre Royal Bath in 2007-2010 and created dance pieces for Plays. One of which, ‘ Max & Beth’ toured to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2009. In 2012 I was hired to dance for a club in China for 3 months.  In 2018 my troop and I were in the film 'The Festival'; we played the part as the dancers on the main stage at the festival.  It was a fantastic experience and opportunity.  I get a huge buzz watching my choreography come to life and an even bigger buzz from performing. Dance to me is like breathing!

Soul Sync Bristol

Thursdays 8.20-9.20pm

​

I'm Rachael - a mum of one, foodie and on a continuous journey to find harmony and balance in life!

Dance to me is the most enjoyable way to keep the body moving, maintain a good level of health, but even more so to reconnect and release from the stresses of life.

From gymnastics and athletics, to cheerleading and dance, I've always enjoyed learning new physical skills. I studied dance at college and university, and I am a level 3 qualified personal trainer. So, combining fitness with dance is something that comes naturally to me.

Vinyasa Flow

​

Exploring the joy of movement and creating community is at the heart of Marianne's teaching. 

Movement practices (and yoga especially) have been a dominant part of her life, she's constantly struck by how movement can make us feel, and transform how we feel! 

Endlessly fascinated by the mind-body connection, Marianne aims to create an empowering space in her weekly vinyasa class for people to show up as they are and remain curious and open. Whilst Marianne guides the class, she encourages a practice that leads from your own needs/energy levels.

Marianne is a therapist as well as a yoga teacher. Her yoga teaching style has been described by previous students as empowering, playful and nourishing.

Come join her on Wednesday evenings!

Kids’ Ballet 

Ages 6-11 year olds

Wednesday’s 4:30-5:15pm

Term time only 

​

I am Anna. I’ve been dancing ballet since the age of 3 - it is the love and crutch of my life second only to family. Whether it’s nurturing the ballet stars of the next generation, helping a little one conquer their shyness, giving their parents the endorphin high of a great class or helping their grandparents grow back an extra couple of centimetres (true story!) I am keen for everyone to enjoy the benefits of the lifelong companion ballet can be.

I’ve been teaching children and adults as well as performing classical ballet for almost twenty years. I trained with Chelsea Ballet Schools founded by Dorothy Ind, Tokyo International Ballet, K Ballet and the late Joan Hewson whose lineage of teaching of Cecchetti Method goes back to Cecchetti himself, (who taught for Diaghilev) through Margaret Craske to Ms Saul to Joan herself.

Morning Yoga

Thursdays 7.15-8.15am

​

Hi, I'm Hannah, I have been practicing yoga for over 10 years, and have recently completed my 250-hour teacher training at Yogasara. I love surfing, rainy walks, camping by the sea and generally being out and about in nature. For me, yoga has been the process of reconnecting to myself through breath and movement, building a resilient home for my mind and a strong body to carry it through life.

The aim in my classes is to take you on a journey led by the breath, creating heat through movement and bringing you back down to find rest. I teach a kramic approach, offering options suitable to all abilities, focusing on breath-led movement and a touch of playfulness.

​

Ashtanga Vinyasa classes

Wednesdays 5.45-6.45pm

​

My name is Aimee and I am an Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga teacher. My primary focus is building a friendly, welcoming community and holding a safe space for people to show up as they are. 

I am fascinated by the workings of the human body including anatomy and the mind-body connection. I am constantly learning and love using this knowledge base to support and empower my students to cultivate a practice that works for them.

 

I found yoga at a young age and would regularly attend classes with my mum. My love for yoga grew during my time at university when I discovered Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga. I completed my 200 hour John Scott teacher training in 2020 with Claire Berghorst. Since then I have taught a mix of online and in person classes including short form Ashtanga Vinyasa classes and restorative classes. 

KAP- Kundalini Activation Process

Group Energy Transmission Class

Wednesday’s 7-9pm

 

 

Clara has trained as a Holistic Massage, Tantric Massage, Reiki and VortexHealing. She also runs an online business suppling frequencies devices that harmonise electromagnetic radiation.

 

Clara first found Kap because she had a Kundalini awakening and was experiencing what is named as ‘Kundalini Syndrome’, this is where normal life vanishes, the basics of sleep, normal sensory perception and metal stability are not present. 

 

Kap offered grounding, calmed the system and aligned her with the practise of surrendering and opened her to the gifts that this Kundalini blessing was offering.  She has been working with this process for over two years and is now a facilitator that can offer this transmission to others. 

Cardio Latin Dance

Wednesdays (fortnightly) from 4th Oct 23

8-9pm

​

My name is Indira Roman.  I'm originally from Havana, Cuba.  I have been a passionate and enthusiastic dancer since I was 5 years old.  I am a professional singer based in Bristol, where I have performed in the most important places in the city and have travelled around the UK, participating in music festivals such as Glastonbury on several occasions.

Dancing has been my best opportunity to develop myself as a dancer, making me self motivated and also keep myself physically fit.

Vinyasa Flow 

Tuesdays 6pm - 7pm

​

Libby’s Yoga journey began back when she was about 15. She was diagnosed with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis in her knee and as a result was very limited to physical activities and sport. She was encouraged to try Yoga, and so the love affair began.

 

Libby’s teaching style is playful and intuitive, and students are encouraged to move at their own pace, finding that sweet balance of softness and strength. Expect classes to be fluid and explorative, delving deep into the body and the breath with an ever evolving element as we tune into the seasons, weather and nature.
