Principal:  Gillian Wood

I love to dance and to teach dancing - any kind of dance, but Tango Argentino is my absolute passion!  Perhaps because it combines the qualities of both Ballet and Ballroom with the passion of Latin - I get everything in one fix!

Originally classically trained, I performed in Canada and Europe before starting to teach.  I 'found' Ballroom late in my career and struggled with the differences in technique, but luckily I enjoy a challenge and now feel as though I've been doing it forever.

A good day is seeing people leave a class with a smile on their face - brilliant!'

Guest Teacher:  Georgina Gibbard

Georgina used to be our Streetdance teacher, but unfortunately moved on to other ambitions.  

Having established PAFTA (Peninsula Academy for Film & Theatre Arts) back in 2012, Georgina provides a unique and innovative environment for young people aged         8 - 19 yrs to take weekly drama classes.  Her belief that the Arts is vital for everyone shows in everything she does.

She continues to teach in a variety of educational and performance establishments, covering a broad range of age groups both as teacher and choreographer - we love having her back as a Guest teacher.
