DANCING

I began performing at a very early age and have danced for as long as I remember. Dancing was always my passion and an obvious choice for me as I worked my way through school and started to consider what to do next. I ended up studying my professional dance and teachers of dance qualification at Preston College and qualified with the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing in 2010. Whilst studying there, I trained in a number of different styles of dance including Ballet, Tap, Modern, Salsa, Jazz and National.

As soon as I left college I began teaching and have a vast and varied experience of teaching a range of dance disciplines at a number of schools across Blackpool and the Fylde Coast over the past decade. Helping students of all ages achieve their dancing goals has always been a passion of mine and something I find extremely rewarding. I also performed as part of a cabaret show in Blackpool for nearly 10 years which allowed me to fulfil my desire to perform on stage in front of live audiences.

More recently, I even got involved with the Davies family business as a personal trainer and Metafit class instructor at our family gym. Fitness and exercise is something that goes hand in hand with my dance teaching knowledge and expertise and shares many similarities. I have juggled all this with being a mummy to two children, Ralph and Reeva.

I enjoy teaching all types of dance and watching children progress and improve. I pride myself on helping them achieve to their goals and improve their skills in a fun, exciting and stimulating atmosphere. For the last twelve years Little players have been a pleasure to teach and I look forward to continuing their journey with them.

Meet the Players Drama School Preston Team

Rebecca Wilson | Owner/Acting

Rebecca’s theatre story began back in the millennium when all she wanted was to go to drama school, ‘But mum I just want to act’ and so she did. The following week she was dropped off at the Playhouse Theatre, for her very first session at the players drama school. Her tummy full of dancing butterflies, reflecting both her nerves and excitement, she remembers that very moment so clearly, two older girls stood either side of the theatre doors, lots of children running past giggling and smiling.

Deborah-Ann Carter | Founder

My Story – I tell the following because I truly believe it to be essential to the school and my teachings. The adventures I had growing up are reflected in the schools artistic growth. To be able to have grown up in two fabulous countries that speak the same language but offer different sights, sounds, smells and touch undoubtedly form and shape our school today.

Abbie Clegg | Acting

I have always loved performing and at the age of seven, I became a pupil at Players Drama School where my love for performing arts only grew. After graduating at the age of sixteen, I was offered the the opportunity to become a ‘Big Sister’ on a Saturday; a role I had always looked up to as young pupil and always hoped I would be one day. Being a Big Sister meant that I was able to gain the experience of being a teaching assistant at a drama school whilst staying within the Players family.
