I have always been fascinated about ballet costumes, props and scenery since I was a little girl while performing on school shows when I was dancing in Spain. When I came to England to continue my ballet training at Central School of Ballet and for several years later, I had the opportunity to work with small companies who always needed a pair of hands in the wardrobe department.

That is how all started.

When I joined VFB in 1999 as a dancer, I used to repair and readjust my costumes and as soon as other dancers discovered what I could do with the needle and thread they started to ask for help.

After retiring from the stage in 2004 and whilst taking my RAD teaching qualifications, I was asked to make the new soldiers costumes for the VFB Nutcracker Production. After that I haven’t stopped working for Peter and Gill repairing, upgrading and recreating original and new designs for our 8 productions.
