My training began at the age of three at a local dance school in Luton and then onto The Southsea School of Dance with Audrey and Nina Brown. It is thanks to the wonderful teachers that taught me that I decided to train to become a teacher as soon as I left school. After gaining my teachers qualifications (Associate in Ballet, Modern, Tap and National) I was offered the opportunity the dance as part of a professional company; which lead me into the world of performing.

As a professional dancer I have performed in a range of venues across the world from Pantomimes to Hotels in Madeira and finally on cruise ships around the world. My experiences in performing have enabled me to travel whilst performing in a job I love. The experience has helped me become the teacher I am today.
Following my degree and MA in Dance in 2003, I decided to open the doors to the Classique School of Dance. Teaching was always a dream for me and starting up my own school with the support of my husband and family offered me the opportunity to start my full time teaching career. Whilst opening my own school and teaching at South Downs College I gained my PGCE teachers qualification to support my teaching qualifications with the Imperial Society of Dancing (I.S.T.D). Whilst teaching I have continually renewed and refined my teaching skills and techniques to ensure I am fully up to date with the teaching requirements. Gaining my Licentiate and becoming an approved Tutor for the ISTD has been a highlight in my teaching career. I currently teach at Chichester College on their DDE programme and am guest ballet teacher for Performer College, Essex.

Teaching the adults and supporting the running of the school has been my responsibility and I thoroughly love working with the children and parents to ensure the best possible opportunity is available for all students. I take full control of the festivals and supporting paperwork to ensure all exams and shows run smoothly but love teaching and being part of the school.

From starting dance at a young age and growing up competing locally and nationally in the UK, I have always had a passion for teaching and performing. My favourite dance genre is Tap and my favourite performer is Gene Kelly. I love creating choreography and have been an established teacher/choreographer at Classique for 10+ years. I currently teach classes in tap, jazz, commercial, contemporary, flex and acro whilst also choreographing dances for local dance festivals.

I have been working at Classique since leaving college, teaching a variety of disciplines and age groups. I love teaching the baby and junior classes in ballet and flex but my specialism is with lyrical and contemporary. I am currently working towards my DDE in Tap and Modern and hope to be achieving my DDI in ballet soon.

Zoe has been dancing since the age of three and is a Classique Graduate. She has successfully gained her teaching qualification with the ISTD in 2017 and is thrilled to be part of the teaching team at Classique.

Kellie has been teaching at Classique School of Dance since summer of 2019. I have been a student at Classique since the age of 11 and I am lucky enough to be able to pursue my dream job of dance teaching at the dance school I grew up in. I am currently the street dance teacher and I also teach acro and flex and co-teach musical theatre. I gained my DDE qualifications in Tap and Modern at Chichester College.
