Meet your teacher
Hi, I'm Anna
After more than twenty years in the industry, I set out to build the dance school I always wished existed: one made entirely for adults, where real teaching and genuine warmth go hand in hand.

My story
From the stage to the studio
I began training with the Royal Academy of Dance as a child, studying ballet alongside modern, jazz and contemporary to advanced levels. After being offered a full scholarship for professional training, I attended the Midlands Academy of Dance and Drama, which set my path for over twenty years of freelance work: performing in theatres around the UK and on the European stage, and guest teaching at educational establishments across the North of England.
My curiosity for movement later took me into Ballroom and Latin, where I competed in open competitions. Starting in 10 Dance, I went on to specialise in Ballroom, reaching finalist in all my categories and Vice Champion at the Blackpool Dance Festival.
Along the way I was fortunate to work with young athletes for British Athletics, supporting their training and improving movement quality through cross-training. That work led me to study Strength & Conditioning modules at St Mary's University and to qualify as a Pilates instructor.
I also studied acting from a young age, and you might still spot me in the occasional TV production, from BBC Three's Frankenstein to the Netflix thriller Bodies. I now look forward to passing on my knowledge and industry experience, and to helping others discover their own passion for dance.
I can’t wait to welcome you to class.
