Hi I'm Isla, I’m the founder of Daisy Dance!
Just wanted to take a quick moment to introduce myself.
I have 17 years of dance experience and have been teaching for the past 3. My training includes modern, tap, and ballet at both dance schools and musical theatre programs, where I also got to explore drama and singing along the way. I have performed in numerous shows and concerts as well as choreography and working behind the scenes for shows in dance schools I have taught.
Dance has always been a big passion for me, and I continued to pursue it through college, where I studied my level 3 sports science course, focusing on fitness and nutrition. Right now, I’m working towards my Diploma in dance education (DDE) in classical ballet, which is really exciting!
At the moment, I teach a variety of classes including ballet, tap, musical theatre and one-on-one sessions. I teach students from as young as 2 years old up to adults in their 60's.
It has always been a curiosity of mine as to when you reach the age of 18 there is a lack of opportunity to continue dance as a passion in a professional manner.
That’s why I created Daisy Dance- a space for adults and children to continue and develop their passion for dance- no matter the age or ability. That doesn't mean if you've never danced this class isn’t for you. Whether you've never stepped into ballet shoes or are a seasonal dancer, I believe your dance passion can start at any age, and I would love to explore that with you.
Here are some testimonials from my students:
' Isla was fantastic, I thought she was one of the best'
'Isla is such an engaging and inclusive teacher, she really does make the class enjoyable'
'Isla is a lovely teacher, I love her choice of music and how she teaches the class’
'Isla really allowed me to express myself and encouraged me throughout the class without making me feel insecure'
I look forward to welcoming you to Daisy Dance!
