About Us

Jemma opened Elite in September 2011 offering only 5 classes and with 14 amazing students, most of which she is still in contact with today. We now offer 83 wonderful classes, with over 300 students across 4 days per week and have grown our team to 8 passionate teachers.

Throughout our lifetime we have trained students into teachers, have 100% pass rate in ISTD exams, had some incredible shows and have watched numerous students blossom into wonderful Student Assistants whom we are incredibly proud of.

Where it all began

Jemma had always dreamed of owning her own school and becoming an ISTD examiner (of which she is working extremely hard to achieve). After completing her professional training at Masters Performing Arts in Essex she ploughed herself into her teacher training exams and fell in love with teaching all styles of dance and performing arts. She fulfilled her dream of opening her school at the age of 21 years old.
Classes are designed specifically for their age group, with simple repetitive movements that are easy for your child to follow. Our focus is on exploration and experimentation and finding the love of dance.
