Ailsa Cullen

BA (Hons) Ballet Education, LRAD, ARAD, RAD RTS, Pilates Certified

I grew up attending classes in this dance school, from the grades through to my Advanced 2 vocational exams. The school lead me to studying a BA in Ballet Education from the Royal Academy of Dance in London.

I now teach ballet, jazz, hip-hop, and contemporary, while using my Pilates certification to run a dedicated strengthening class.

I really enjoy teaching a mix of ages and styles because it keeps things creative and lets me blend technical discipline with high-energy movement, focusing on both physical conditioning and artistic growth for every dancer.
