Our Team.
Bethany Alice Black
Owner and Teacher
I began performing when I was 3 years old going to ballroom and latin classes with my big brother and sister. After one shimmy on the dance floor I was hooked and after years at local theatre schools, graduated from Bird College in 2013.
I’ve been working ever since performing in shows such as Priscilla Queen of the Desert and most recently becoming the lead vocalist at The London Cabaret Club.
I have always kept up teaching work whilst performing because I love working with children who are passionate about theatre as I was at their age. I have worked for large franchises teaching theatre and now want to create my own family feel school which gives more nurturing and personalised classes that serve the community.
