I joined Angels Dance Academy when I was 7 years old, where I started in Funky Angels in 2008. I worked my way through the academy and now dance for 2 senior teams in both Hip Hop and Jazz; Dominion and Virtues. I coach Lil Angels (Tiny Hip Hop), Cupid (Tiny Cheer) and Cassiel (Youth Jazz) at the academy and have been coaching for 2 and a half years. I have been extremely lucky to have danced with Shadow Angels at the 2016 and 2017 Dance World Championships and am over the moon to have a place on the 2018 worlds team, Dominion. One of my favourite memories at the academy was being chosen for the Elite Junior Hip Hop team Lil Dark in 2011, where we went on to win Grand Champions at Nationals in 2013!

I have been dancing in ADA since 2013 where I got asked to join funky angels. I have been given countless opportunities through my time at the academy and my passion for dance has grown massively. I got asked to be in dark in 2016 and have been lucky enough to experience 3 worlds with dominion and dark and even having the most amazing experience of becoming a world champion! I have recently become a coach at the academy and it’s lovely to see so much young talent coming through the doors and I can’t wait to see the academy continue to grow! I feel so lucky to be a part of such a special family at ADA

I've been dancing with angels since the age of 8 and joined in 2008 starting in ADA funky angels. I am now in ADA Dominion and Virtues and i I help coach jazz with Alleviate angels. My biggest achievement has been getting into a worlds team for the past 2 years and winning Shadows dancers dancer of 2017. Interesting/fun fact is that my nickname is slit because of the scar in my eyebrow!

I've been with ADA since the 2018/19 season on both dark angels and virtues lyrical/jazz. I've been dancing myself for just over 10 years now, and have trained in many different dance styles including ballet, tap, commercial and many more, and also went to wilkes academy of performing arts to increase my knowledge of the industry and improve upon myself as a dancer and performer.
Being able to go to worlds and become world champions with such an incredible team is so overwhelming and I couldn't ask for anything more.
It is such a privilege to be a coach at angels and to see the progression in so many people in such a short amount of time, and I cant wait to see where angels will go next.

I’ve been dancing with ADA since 2018 beginning in Guardian before starting Virtues. I coach Virtues Jazz and Lyrical, mostly focussing on technique. Before joining ADA I captained and danced on Team England Pom for 3 years, coached Team England Adaptive Abilities Pom and competed pom with CF10 at dance worlds (whilst pregnant!). I also danced and coached Bath Spa Jazz for 4 years winning Uni National Champs each year and coming 6th at ECU. My favourite dance memory is dancing alongside the Royal Ballet at the London 2012 closing ceremony. I’ve also come 1st in over 18s advanced at UDO way back in 2007 but I don’t think anyone wants to see me attempt hiphop now!

Unlike the other coaches in the academy I don't have a dance or cheer background but found my love of cheer through my kids. I started helping out with kits and uniforms soon after Mitch joined ADA in 2010. Since then I've gained a cheerleading coaches qualification and truly fallen in love with the sport and all the athletes that step through the door.

I’ve been dancing with angels since 2017, I started off in dominion prem for a year and then joined dark angels in 2018 which then lead to one of the greatest victory’s of my life by becoming world champion in 2019. Another amazing opportunity I had is that I was part of dominion crew in 2018 that qualified for HHI worlds so I also got to one experience one of the greatest dance competitions of all time in Arizona! During my time in angels I’ve accomplished things that I wouldnt of even dreamed of and made amazing memories along the way, such as being on the greatest dancer and being part of team oti in the year 2020. I became a member of the coaching team in 2020 and take great pride in being an influence to the younger dancers as they have such great talent!
