Meet Tess (She/Her)
“I’m a self confessed lover of joy! Part of this journey has been letting go of any food restrictions following a non-diet approach. The pressure put on people to be a certain body shape puts a fire in my belly! I have a history of performance and carnival dance and honed my dance skills over the years. My classes are all about the fun, easy to follow routines, a dose of sass, silliness and getting our sweat on. Exercise should be enjoyable.
“I love a bit of 80s/90s plus modern pop and sometimes a dash of dancehall/rave/drum and bass.”
