Hello I'm Miss Dee, as well as teaching at the dance school & running all the admin/behind the scenes of the school, I also collaborate with the council & take the brand into local schools!
I'm so lucky to have a job that I enjoy, above all I love working with young people watching them improve & grow as dancers ! Cheer & Musical theatre are my favourite styles! I'm the head of Cheer giving all our cheer & street dancers the opportunity to compete at national level!

Dance has been so life changing for me. As a teacher I want to ensure our students feel confident inspired & motivated at all times, I want our students to accomplish things they are proud of and have lots of fun along the way!

dancer that comes into our lessons!
JAYDEN

Hello, I’m Jayden! The best thing about teaching at NLDA is seeing the students grow in confidence and watching them shine in the studio and on stage!
My favourite style of dance is MT Jazz because it combines strong technique with performance skills, which makes it so much fun to perform and teach.
