Meet The Team

Miss Andrea has danced since the age of 3 years old, taking part in many festivals, competitions, shows, pantomimes and TV work throughout her dancing career. Miss Andrea first qualified as a teacher at the age of 17 gaining her associate qualifications with the NATD. She then went on to further her teaching qualifications by gaining her Fellowships in Ballet, Tap and Modern which is the highest dancing qualification to hold. Miss A was appointed a Dance Examiner for the NATD in 2011. Her examining has taken her all over the world; Canada, Malaysia, Portugal, Dubai to name a few. She gets so much pleasure out of her examining role, watching other children as well as our ABCDer’s having a passion for dance.
Miss A is highly recognised within the NATD. Her roles for the association are as follows;
Director and member of council, NATD Northern Area Chairperson, Theatrical Scholarship Chairperson, TDCI Delegate, and an elected member of both the Modern and Tap Branch Committees.
Miss Andrea has been teaching dance now for over 30 years.
For many years she taught at a stage school in Stockport as Senior Assistant before going on to proudly open ABCD back in 2012 with Miss Caroline.

Starting her dancing journey at the age of 3, Miss Caroline always knew this was the path she wanted to take. Miss C took part in many dancing productions, pantomimes and shows as a child right through to her late teens. She gained her teaching qualifications at the age of 18 in many genres of dance. Miss Caroline had been teaching children for many years alongside her colleague and teacher Miss Andrea before the two realised that their special bond and their shared love of dance was strong enough for them to open their own school together.
Miss Caroline shares her passion for dance to all of our ABCDer’s in her fabulous classes that she takes each week from our 3 year olds up to our Senior girls. As well as teaching many classes Miss Caroline does so much work behind the scenes with the organisation and day to day running of the school.
She is so proud of ABCD School of Dance and Drama and the dance family that has been created over the last 11 years.

Collectively, over the years, Miss Andrea & Miss Caroline have had lots of amazing success stories with pupils past and present through their training at ABCD.

Miss Leah started her dance pathway at the age of 2, definitely following in her mum's footsteps (Miss Andrea).
Leah competed in many competitions from an early age and has performed in many shows, pantomimes, charity events, and ABCD productions in her dancing career. She has consistently taken NATD Examinations each year from the age of 3 in all genres working her way up to gaining her associate teaching qualification a couple of years ago.
Miss Leah is a huge role model for all of our ABCD pupils and someone who all the children have looked up to for a very long time.
After her extensive work for ABCD over the last few years, Miss Leah was made Vice Principal of the school in 2022. Not only is she a full time teacher with her own classes, she is also head of administration at ABCD dealing with all of our enquiries, which keeps her very busy.
Miss Leah is looking to further her dance qualifications over the next couple of years, as she continues to pass on her love of dance to all of our pupils.
