Sue has been dancing with snakes since 1994 she was the premier snake dancer in London and beyond for 10yrs, many younger dancers are now following in her footsteps.

Sue has danced with many different types of snakes; she realised early on that just one snake cannot always be available for performances as they have their own life agenda which means they cannot always be taken out. So Sue had a collection of different snakes, her first dancing partner was Mamba the Indigo snake he taught her a lot about movement, later she used Boa Constrictors which are completely different to work with, Rainbow Boas, Pythons even the smaller Corn snakes which can be used on the arms and wrists.

Sue has been a Belly dancer and a yoga practioner all of her adult life this helped with her strength and flexibility but the movement and slower style of music used to work with a snake taught her even more than she thought possible.

Snakes teach us how to move we must allow them the pleasure of being with us without trying to control their movement too much, when a snake knows you well he/she will want to stay with you and they are part of you when you move together.   

Sue can teach privately or in small groups to anyone who would like to learn to move or dance with a snake.

Fees for individual private lessons on handling and dancing with a snake £75 for first session and £50 for each subsequent session of one hour.

In the first session we will be discussing the needs of the snakes and which snakes are suitable for working with before snake handling begins.

Snake dancing/handling/charming is very speciliazed, the needs of the snake/s always come first - all proceeds go to caring for the snakes at the sanctuary.
