Julie a B.D.T.A and U.T.D teacher has always been involved in dancing for over 35 years.  Whether it be performing herself or teaching others.  She has been at the heart of several award winning troupes throughout the UK, Julie also believes that dancing should be fun at whatever age but with correct boundaries and discipline, as she is still an active dancer she does get involved with various different shows from Magical to amateur dramatics.  But her passion will always lie with choreography and the ability to help People enjoy and have fun with Dance.

Warren Glenn - Dance Teacher

Warren is Our New Street Dance Teacher, who has experiance in the classical subjects as well.

My name is Warren Glenn and I have been doing street dance for 2 years. I started street dancing with a company called Surge; they were based in Basingstoke (near Southampton). With Surge I did around 30 shows, one of them included us performing at “Move It” (the biggest dance festival in England) and around 10 competitions; winning around half of them. One of the competitions left us performing on the stage along side Diversity, as seen on Britain’s Got Talent.

I have now left Surge and I am currently training at Pineapple studios (in London). Pineapple has several open classes there for all styles of dance, from Street dance to Bollywood dance. I go there strictly for Street dance. When I go Pineapple I do several of open classes there and one to one lessons with Professional Choreographers that have worked with different performing artists from around the world.

My aims with my Street dance are to become a Professional dancer and to be in music videos and to tour as many places as possible around the world as a backing dancer. I would also like to do as much different Professional dancing/entertaining work as possible as well.
