Teachers
Edward Anderson is Liz's brother so naturally is her first recommendation. An excellent teacher with a holistic approach to teaching as he has a broad training in the arts. Edward emphasizes the benefits of relaxation and a natural approach to access the best of what each individual person has to offer.
Viktoriya Wilton was born in Ukraine and started dancing at the age of five, inspired by her father’s love of this beautiful sport. She took part in her first competition aged seven and went on to achieve a top 10 in the National rankings. It has always been her dream to teach dance and share her passion with others.
Andrew Cuerden from the inspiration of Dirty Dancing in 1986, to performing on Strictly Come Dancing in 2005, Andrew has worked tirelessly to become a championship dancer. He is qualified Ballroom and Latin teacher with the IDTA.
