About

I first started line dancing in 1994 with a club called Texan Rebel Bootscooters in Wandi, WA. This also turned out to be the same instructor who started line dance lessons at my primary school. Since starting out I have danced with numerous clubs, some who are no longer around today. Today, I am attending classes with a club called Razzmatazz in Rockingham, WA, with some of the ladies I met back in the Texan Rebel days.

Between 2002 to 2009, I starting competing in the WA Stomp competition. Dancing in freestyle solo, standard solo sections and duo sections with a few different partners from various other clubs. Winning numerous trophies & medals & making life-long friends. Also, somewhere in there (not sure exactly) taking on a coaching role with the younger competitors of our group.

In 2007, I made my way to Tamworth, NSW (Australia's Country Capital) competing in what was at the time, the biggest competition in the country the Australian Line Dance Championships. Competing in the standard & freestyle sections for my age group (17-29 years) & winning a bronze in the Freestyle Solo section.

In 2008, I attended the Mayworth competition in Tamworth, NSW, competing in the Standard Solo & Freestyle Solo sections for my age group. Here I won equal gold in the Standard Solo & silver in the Freestyle Solo section.

In 2016, I returned to the competition floor in the West State Line Up dancing with Ash Clark. In 2019, I joined the Dancers United competition team.

More recently during the COVID-19 pandemic, I have been attending online technique workshops held by the World Dance Masters, learning the tricks of the trade in the various line dance styling of East and West Coast Swing and Polka.
