ABOUT STARDUST DANCE ACADEMY

Hi, I’m Hannah and I am lucky enough to teach most of the classes here at Stardust!

I love to teach all ages and do my best to ensure that every student feels welcome and included in all my classes. It gives me great pleasure to welcome new students into our dance family and watch as their confidence grows and they make new friends. I have had many pre-school students come to their 1st class nervous and clinging to parents, however, it gives me immense pleasure to see them run into class the next week with a big smile on their face! I love how much dance classes can improve a child's confidence which not only helps with our classes but also when they start school.

I have danced from a young age and gained a diploma in Musical theatre in Northumberland before moving to Cambridge to train as a professional dancer at Bodywork Cambridge Performing Arts. I then went onto become a dance teacher with the Imperial Society of teachers of dancing (ISTD) studying Ballet, Tap and Modern Theatre Jazz.  My love of dance and passion to be the best teacher I can has also lead me to become a cheerleading coach with UKCA, an Acro Gymnastics teacher with Acrobatic Arts and a qualified Yoga teacher.

I started Stardust Dance Academy in 2010 with one Saturday class and I feel very privileged that I still teach some of my very 1st students now! I believe that dancing is something that everyone should be able to enjoy and hope to inspire lots of children and adults with my love of dance for many years to come.

Miss Lisa grew up in Ukraine and performed and completed in dance competitions all over the world before moving to Cambridge in 2023. We are lucky to have her as part of our teaching team and she is a skilled dancer in many styles including ballet, jazz, lyrical, acro gymnastics and Ukrainian folk dance.

Rebecca has completed a degree in dance and teachers at many local primary schools in the Cambridgeshire area. Her biggests passions are Street Dance, Tap Dance and Jazz and she enjoys passing on her love of dance to the children in her classes.

You will often find me outside the studio ready to greet parents and students 😊I have been involved with Stardust since the beginning and have enjoyed making all the costumes and running back-stage for the end of year shows.

Having relocated to Cambridge in 2017, I am delighted to be more involved with weekly Stardust classes and getting to know our students and families better.

I have a wealth of experience working with children of all ages as I trained as a secondary school teacher where I taught food and textiles technology. I also worked for a Children’s Charity where among other positions, I managed a Sure Start Children’s Centre.

I look forward to getting to know you and your children by welcoming you to classes and will try to answer any questions you have.
