Miss Emily Mae
Teacher​

Warm, kind and nurturing - children adore Miss Emily Mae! Her superpower is tap and her amazing adult tap classes are lively and fun.
​
Miss Emily Mae also works at a local nursery and loves getting stuck in with all the activities there!
Miss Cat
Teacher
​
Miss Cat's greatest passion is to nurture and watch young talent grow: "It makes my heart happy when I see a student having that light bulb moment. I also get a crazy amount of joy out of watching a student's face light up as they hear the applause after they have performed."
​​
She has two dogs, Ash and Sky and loves to snuggle up with them and read a good book!
Miss Amy
Teacher
Miss Amy is a talented dancer and choreographer, with a flair for all things jazz, lyrical and musical theatre. We’re very lucky to have her teach our competition teams and ISTD modern classes.
Miss Helena

​
Miss Helena has a wealth of experience teaching all ages for exams, preparing vocational dancers for careers in dance as well as helping many recreational dancers to discover a passion that lasts a lifetime.
​
She has two rabbits named Margot and Darcey! (can you figure out the inspiration behind those names?!)
Miss Sophie
Ballet Teacher
​
Miss Sophie is currently a professional dancer with BTUK. Her favourite ballet is The Nutcracker, in which she had the privilege of performing Clara and The Sugar Plum Fairy recently; her proudest moment!
​
She is excited to join the WSD team: "Inspiring the students and to encourage the best they can be. And, to pass on all my years of learning !"
Miss Tara
Teacher
​
Graduated from DeMontfort University with a 2:1 Honours degree in Dance, Miss Tara has a passion for making dance inclusive to all, including those with additional needs.
​
She grew up on a farm and has spent many springs bottle-feeding lambs! She now spends her free time training her two guinea pigs, Croc and Dunk, to do tricks!
​
Steph

​
While Steph's day job involves working in the veterinary industry, she's also a whizz with graphic design and designed our website and all show posters, progammes etc
​
When not working super duper hard on all of those things, she is Mama to Beatrice and 3 gorgeous cats named Bruce, Hamish and Sampson!
"Fantastic dance tuition for all ages, styles and abilities. Highly recommended!."
