I started dance lessons when I was 12 at Ecco Theatre Arts.
After many happy years of shows, competitions and exams, I undertook my dance teacher training
and I’ve taught at Ecco ever since.
Dance Fit with Helen started back in 2014.
Dancing provides a fun way to exercise and it should be fun otherwise you won’t want
to do it!
I strive to make sure my classes are as welcoming as possible and my biggest hope is that people
have a good time.
I’m an IDTA qualified dance teacher running dance-inspired fitness classes and dance classes in Sheffield.
I won ‘Dance Fitness Instructor of the Year 2019 – South Yorkshire’ in the annual Northern Enterprise Awards.
As well as being a dance teacher, I’m also a wife and mum to a little girl who loves moving and
grooving as much as me!
I was diagnosed with Addison's Disease not long after having my daughter which was a bit scary but
being told I could still lead a normal, active life felt like a huge blessing.
I adore my food and never miss a meal! When I do get any spare time, I love to see my family and
friends.
Through dance, exercising can be fun and it should be fun otherwise you won’t want to do it!
My mission is to break down this barrier of women feeling too self-conscious to go to an exercise class because of low body confidence and self-esteem. I like to challenge the view of fitness classes being places only fit, slim, twenty-somethings can attend!
