Gillian has been a qualified dance teacher for over 16 years specialising in Tap dance and Modern dance. Before dancing, Gillian was a qualified Nursery Nurse. This gives her a wealth of experience in dealing with children of all ages.

The dance school has become a small community where the children and parents meet and socialise with each other.

We offer the students the opportunity to take part in B.A.T.D. examinations each year. We also showcase the talents of all in our annual dance show. This is staged in a theatre to give parents the rare opportunity to see their children perform on stage.

We have just celebrated the 10th anniversary of our class in Crumlin. We still have some of the original girls who were with us on our first day. We have watched them all grow into lovely young ladies. Some of them now are embarking on their university education away from Northern Ireland and we wish those girls the very best.

We have also completed our 3rd year of performances at the prestigious West End Stage School in London. Our students have had the opportunity work with some of the best industry professionals. Due to the success of this project, we look forward to taking students back each year.

Gillian has also worked as a choreographer and dance teacher for:

• Ardan Theatre Group, Randalstown
