Susan, dance teacher 

I started dancing with Emma from the age of 3 and have loved dance ever since. Now I’m proud to say she’s one of the people that inspired me to pursue dance and go on to achieve a BA Honours Degree in dance, followed by a PGCE.

Throughout university I gained experience teaching students of ages 11-16 years alongside being the president of the dance society and completing a qualification in emergency first aid. I also have an enhanced DBS certificate and am now a certified UKCA coach in urban cheer skills and have recently become a member of the NATD.

I can’t thank Emma enough for the endless support she has given me over the years and now I’m excited to be able to begin my teaching career.
