Jane Coleman School of Dancing Teachers

Kate is our wonderful teacher based at Catsfield Village Hall, Burwash Village Hall and Battle Abbey Prep School. 

​

Kate started dancing at  the age of three and has loved it ever since! The enjoyment she experienced from learning ballet and going through the grade work is something that she now loves to share with her students.

​

Dance has increased her confidence which has helped her in so many aspects of life. She competed in dance festivals where she performed in group and solo dances in ballet, tap, contemporary, lyrical and modern. Kate completed her dance GCSE qualification at fifteen, her background in ballet complimenting the contemporary style of dance within the qualification. At school, Kate was selected to participate in a dance project with Google, where ballet was combined and integrated alongside motion and computer science technology. Through this experience she had the opportunity to perform in many venues such as the V&A, Brighton Pavilion, Amex Stadium and Excel centre in London.

Kate's interests have always surrounded dance, with her interest in textile design beginning from being surrounded by costume and set design.

​

She has participated in exams as a demonstrator for other dance teachers at fellowship level. Once gaining her intermediate qualification in ballet, she decided to progress further and continue with teaching qualifications. 

​

Kate was six and a pupil at Battle Abbey school when she met Jane Coleman. Miss Jane always encouraged Kate and will always be an inspiration to her, being a close friend and wonderful teacher. Kate hopes to follow in Jane's footsteps with everything she taught her.

Lizzie is another one of our lovely teachers that was trained by Miss Jane and Miss Rachel.

​

She has been part of the JCSD family for years in various forms and has a huge passion for ballet and teaching dance.

​

Lizzie is also a fully qualified Nanny and valued teaching assistant in a local primary school. She has a wonderful way with children and her love of teaching them has been a real bonus for us, as she adores teaching our tiniest dancers. 

​

Lizzie has been known to fully embrace our weekly themes by dressing up with the children and creating magical worlds for them to dance and let their imaginations run wild!
