PRINCPIAL

Miss Sophie started dancing at the age of 5 at her local dance school. She battled for many years between football and dance but eventually dance won and she left her dance school with her Intermediate in Modern, Tap & Ballet. She started assisting in classes at the age of 15 when she made the decision to become a dance teacher. At 18 she went onto North Liverpool Dance Academy under the guidance of Miss Cathi Conroy-Jones, Fellow & Triple ISTD examiner. In this time Miss Sophie gained her DDE in Modern & Tap and her Level 4 in IDTA Ballet.
