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
Teacher
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
Website and Marketing
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!."
Laura (Mum to Bea)
