OUR TEACHERS

After competing in gymnastic competitions from a young age, Amy was introduced to Housley by a friend. She immediately loved the classes but most of all loved Jane. Jane encouraged her to progress at dance college and at the age of 16 she gained a National Diploma in Advanced Dance at Miskin Theatre and then went on to train at Doreen Bird.

She has a passion for fitness and exercises classes, so after leaving college she qualified as a fitness instructor and since then has trained to teach aerobics, Zumba and Zumba kids. She has been teaching dance across Sevenoaks for almost 10 years now, working in primary schools and dance schools.

She also works as a teaching assistant at a local school and is currently a student teacher at Canterbury university. She loves teaching street and jazz dance and loves seeing her pupils improve in their technique and confidence as dancers. Her favourite time of year is when she gets to watch the pupils perform in the Housley dance shows and Chance to Dance.

She is very proud to work at Housley and feels honoured to be part of the Housley family as a teacher.

Charlie started dancing at the age of 6 in freestyle and street dance. She has competed in competitions all over the country in the Premier Championship category gaining many titles. She then went on the train at Miskin Theatre where she met Jane and gained a Diploma in Dance and Performing Arts. Charlie then went on to train at London Studio Centre taking part in shows at the New Wimbledon Theatre and Touring the Country with the Jazz Dance Company, she graduated with a degree in Dance.

Charlie’s performing experience includes the Pet Shop Boys at the Royal Opera House, dance captain for Rebecca Howell at Move it Dance convention, working with choreography such as Paul Roberts, Shaun Niles and Mandy Montanez and various public and private events. Charlie has taught workshops for schools and teaches at 3 dance schools on a regular basis. She has worked with children and young adults of all ages and has a strong passion for providing performers with a comfortable environment to learn in and giving them the tools to try anything! Charlie also really enjoys working with Jane and is excited to be part of such a positive dance space!

Ella started dancing at the age of 3 and joined The Housley School of Dance a year later in 2004. During her time at Housley, Ella helped Jane as her teacher assistant for her younger students. She left Housley in 2018 to train at READ college in Reading for a year. Ella then followed Jane’s footsteps by embarking on a 3 year Musical Theatre Course at Laine Theatre Arts.

Ella graduated in 2022 with a Degree in Professional Musical Theatre and is busy auditioning to be in shows as well as writing her own musical in her spare time. She absolutely loves teaching at Housley because it is inclusive, welcoming and essentially just one big family! She feels so lucky to be able to teach and watch the children improve leaps and bounds every week.
