Meet the instructor

My name is Anthony. I was born in Downpatrick, Northern Ireland.  I have Asperger's autism, This disability does not affect my life apart from driving. I was diagnosed at the age of 5 years old. I was adopted, I grew up in Tower Hamlets and then moved to Woodford Green, Essex, England, UK. 

I have been ballroom dancing since I lost my job at Debenhams during COVID. 

I love listening to electronic dance music (EDM) by Bob Sinclair and the Ministry of Sound. 

I  first got into ballroom dancing as probably like everyone, from watching  Dirty Dancing with Patrick Swayze (RIP) and from reading  Peggy Spencer's dance school (RIP)  and her book The Joy of Dancing: Next Steps Ballroom, Latin and Jive for  Social Dancers of All Ages.
