​I have a dream

For 15 years now, I have had a dream to uplift the profile of wheel gymnastics to a known sport in Australia and take an Australian team to the world championships. In 2017, I bought two wheels and started training my kids, and I felt like a kid in a candy store.

​Our first training space was tiny, even the smallest wheel couldn’t do two full rotations, which is what is needed for many tricks. So, when we moved to Eagle Stadium it was another woohoo moment, and now we hold classes for kids and adults.

Teaching style
Since 2009, I’ve been teaching performing arts at the National Institute of Circus Arts (NICA) at Swinburne University. And for 15 years before that, as an accredited gymnastics coach, I was teaching kids and adults. And honestly seeing my students finally master that trick that evaded them for some time, it’s the best feeling ever

My students tell me I am an encouraging, inspiring and knowledgeable coach. I am enthusiastic about teaching what I love and make learning fun.
Here are some of the things my younger students have to say:
​
​- It's pretty fun when you get to learn all this skills...  Daniel
​- It’s fun and it's fitness I guess it's win, win... Anna
​​- I feel like I build my upper arm strength... Edha
- I like everything is so much fun, and going upside-down it's great... Zahra
