As a teenager Charlotte used to run the after school dance club at her secondary school and choreographed many school play production numbers for her peers. Also whilst at secondary school, Charlotte auditioned and was accepted into a contemporary company based in Cambridge which performed and created many pieces. Charlotte went on to study at the prestige dance school “Bodywork” in Cambridge. She attended for 4 years gaining her foundation course certificate along side her level 6 national diploma in Dance. Charlotte went on to teach Btec dance and gained her PTLLS (preparing to teach in the life long learning sector) Level 4 qualification. Charlotte has also many sports qualifications such as Multiskills, Tri golf and Badminton! Charlotte has taught in many dance schools across Cambridge, Huntingdonshire, Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire. She has choreographed winning pieces for the UDO competitions held all across the UK. Charlotte set up Talent Dance Academy in 2012 after graduation from Bodywork. Hungry for more, she began working within schools to teach and upskill the teachers in dance. Over the 10 years since she graduated Charlotte has worked in almost every school in Huntingdonshire teaching Dance PE sessions to children and helping the teachers to gain confidence and knowledge within dance. Charlotte has also been working with the SCITT training centre for the past 3 years based in Cambridge and Bury St. Edmunds to train the trainee teachers in dance. Currently Charlotte teaches for The Vicky Grant School of dance based in St. Ives Cambridgeshire, she has taught there for 7 years now and loves working with her VG family. Charlotte is also a trained sports massage therapist! She feels this qualification can also help and guide her students and fellow colleagues.
