Meet the teaCHERS

I have been performing for most of my life and teaching for over 30 years. I have a wealth of knowledge, qualifications and experience that I love passing onto the next generation of teachers and our wonderful students.

Whether we are performing our shows, competing in competitions, taking exams or delivering weekly classes, our dedicated, professional and experienced team of teachers give their all to our students.

I am extremely proud of our team and every expanding and developing school.

Our ethos is that all students should enjoy performing, regardless of whether it is for the prospect of a future career or for fun and social activity!

I started dancing when I was 3 years old, and I have loved it ever since. You will find me at Eclipse every Saturday teaching our infant and junior pupils. I teach everything from Ballet, Tap, Modern, Acro and Street Dance.

I was always a huge fan of Acro when I danced myself, so I think that’s why it’s one of my favourite classes to teach now, but I love teaching all subjects. I have been teaching for over 10 years.

I have an ABD Acrobatic teaching qualification and a BTEC in Performing Arts.
I love that Eclipse offers a kind, inclusive and nurturing environment for performers of all ages. Watching students grow-not just in their technique, but in their confidence and passion for dance -is incredibly rewarding.

I have been involved in performing since I was 4 years old and still do three shows a year now. I teach Tap, pre-school children and Musical Theatre at Eclipse. I also help to run our social media and correspondence.

I have taken many grades in all dance subjects, I have a BTEC National in Performing Arts (Musical Theatre) and grade 8 and Diploma in musical theatre from London College of Music.
My favourite thing about being part of Eclipse is seeing children through their classes and exams and coming out as wonderful young adults, as they go on to pursue their dreams, Theatre related or otherwise. I love being able to be myself.

I have been a freelance professional dancer, choreographer and dance entertainer for more than 15 years. I specialise in commercial dance using high energy to share my creativity.
I direct my own bespoke themed shows for my own entertainment company in Derby ‘Bexstar Entertainment’.

I have worked as a backing dancer for the likes of East 17, Heather Small’s M People, Britain’s Got Talent, Socceraid, Alton Towers and so much more.

I continue to share my training and knowledge with the next generation and I am proud to teach weekly classes at Eclipse Performance Arts.

I have been involved in performing for over 20 years. I teach Commercial at Eclipse and occasionally assist Theatre performance. I support our students at performance and backstage. My favourite genre is Commercial but love our core Ballet, Tap and Modern classes.

I have a BTEC level 3 in Performing Arts Dance and HNC Performing Arts. I trained at Addict Dance Academy in Leicester.

My favourite thing about Eclipse is getting to teach the next generation, passing on my love and passion for performing to them, remembering I started in the same place. It’s an absolute pleasure teaching at Eclipse and I’m extremely grateful to be involved in such a friendly, passionate and fun school.

I have been dancing since I was 4 years old. I don’t have a favourite subject, I love them all. I trained at Leicester College and Studio 79. After graduating I worked as a redcoat and dancer for Butlins at Skegness, for five years.

I teach all subjects at Eclipse to our intermediate students as well as a ‘stretch and flexibility’ class. I also help out with Commercial sometimes and choreograph competition work.
I love sharing my knowledge and seeing our students performing.

I have been performing since I was 3 years old. I attend every class in every subject at Eclipse. My favourite subjects are Acrobatics, Commercial and Contemporary.

I am currently training to get my first teaching qualification. I really like being involved in Shows and competitions. I love helping the younger students. They are very cute and work super hard on their dance steps.

I have been performing for 13 years. I attend my own classes and assist teaching on a Saturday and Wednesday. My favourite genres are Modern/Lyrical and Commercial. I love all of the friendships that I have made within Eclipse. I also love it when our juniors master something new, and also watching their friendships being made through dance.

I have been involved in Theatre Performance for 17 years. I assist on a Thursday at our Theatre Performance classes. I love acting with a little singing thrown in. I have taken lots of LAMDA exams with Eclipse. I love seeing our students grow in confidence through performance.

I have been dancing since I was 3 years old. My favourite style of dance is Lyrical. On a Saturday I help out with our younger students. I like seeing them improve and become confident. I really want them to enjoy their classes.
