Miss Leanne
Miss Chloe
Chloe began dancing at the age of 3 and trained and undertook examinations in Ballet, Tap, Modern, Street, Lyrical, Contemporary, Musical Theatre and Cheer Pom under the B.A.T.D (British association of teachers of dancing). Between the ages of 6 – 13 Chloe competed at every competition in the season gaining titles, trophies and medals for her numerous solos, quads and group dances. After moving house at the age of 13, Chloe began training and taking examinations with the I.S.T.D (Imperial society of teachers of dancing) in Imperial Classical Ballet, Tap, Modern Theatre and Jazz. It was here, after countless years of assisting with classes that she found her passion and love for teaching. After studying dance at GCSE and A-Level, Chloe moved to Chichester for a year (2022-23) to gain her I.S.T.D DDE qualifications in Modern Theatre and Tap at Chichester College with her tutor Irela Strachan. During this year she completed both of her DDE’S as well as taking her Contemporary exams with the I.S.T.D gaining teaching status for these also. After completing these Chloe took her Advanced 2 Tap exam and then Advanced 2 Modern with Jessica Morgan-Beale. To further her qualifications, in September 2024 Chloe began training for Licentiate Tap with tutor Irela Strachan and is taking her exam in September 2025. Chloe plans on doing her Licentiate Modern in the near future and continues to take CPD days each year. Teaching brings her great joy and pride by passing on all she can to her students.
