Gemma has had a lifelong love of dance, starting with Ballet and Tap at age 3 in her local area of Knowle, swiftly followed by Gymnastics at 5. By age 10 she was taking lessons in Freestyle, Modern Jazz, Latin, Ballroom and Street. Gemma continued training as a performer to an exceptionally high level, even completing the IDTA Ballet syllabus reaching Advanced 2. After taking part in competitions across the country in all styles of dance, Gemma decided at the age of seventeen to give up competing and to take her passion for dance to a Professional level.
Through the IDTA, Gemma has trained to be a qualified teacher at Licentiate level, being awarded with Distinction in all teaching qualifications. Gemma has also furthered her studies outside of the IDTA with Qualifications in Cheerleading with Building From the Ground Up Cheer and receiving her Level 1&2 certificate. Gemma has over 8 years teaching experience, is a licensed chaperone, first aid trained and holds an Enhanced DBS. Owning her own dance school has been Gemma’s dream since she was a child and she can’t wait to welcome students to her school.
