Anne-Marie enjoys challenging her students as she believes one of the most important things we gain from training in dance & performing arts is exploring all of the things you never thought you could do, and then doing them anyway. She’s very bubbly and energetic and loves to nurture curiosity in her dancers. Building confidence, having a space to express individual creativity and pushing yourself (whilst, of course, having a laugh and making friendships!) is her core approach.  Having begun her training at BWA, she has completed many dance and drama exams to high levels with distinctions, as well as had opportunities to perform at the National Theatre, Fairfield Halls and music videos. This all led her to complete 2 wonderful years at the BRIT School on the Musical Theatre course and is now in her final year of a 3-year MT degree at ArtsEd. Alongside all this, BWA helped cultivate her passion for choreography, so many of Anne-Marie’s troupes and solos have placed highly at multiple Festivals and dance competitions like Bird College’s Creation in 2017. Teaching, choreographing and performing are massive passions for her and she loves aiding growth of future performers at BWA.
