Michelle Gordine - LIDTA, ANATD, ADFP
Principal & Head Teacher
Michelle started the school in 1992 & has a wealth of teaching experience & teaching qualifications.
Michelle has been teaching for over 20 years, came from a 'classical dance' background and has met, taught & trained many different people, many of whom are now dancing or performing as a career.
She is also a proud Mum of 2 Teenage Boys and a Daughter.
Over the years as the school has grown and flourished there have been many tests, challenges & changes, the school now has a good reputation and is well known for its high standards and expectations.
Miss Michelle is known as a (nice) Task Master who likes to get the best out of her pupils.
Her aim is to inspire dancers by teaching to the best of her ability at all times & is still learning on an every day basis !
Thanks and influences: Jack Raynor (IDTA), Michael Jackson (ofcourse) and her Mum!
