Performing Arts

I am passionate about developing a love of dance, drama skills and technique across all age groups, providing opportunities for students to perform and showcase their learning. It is important to me that all my students feel welcome and confident in their learning environment and are provided with the right level of challenge to continue growing in their individual journey through the Performing Arts.

I believe that Performing Arts education provides young people with valuable skills and lessons beyond the classroom. I am so looking forward to working with the students and watching their talents and passions grow.

I was raised in the UAE and have been back in Dubai for the last 2 years after previously returning home to South Africa.

I am a professionally trained performer and have recently completed postgraduate studies in Primary Education. I am delighted to be part of the team delivering the Performing Arts Programmes across Cognita Schools.

I combine discipline and creativity to build strong connections with my students, focusing on developing strength, flexibility, and technique. With years of experience in both teaching and management, I value trust and growth in the learning process. My goal is to help each dancer feel supported and inspired, while equipping them with the technical skills and confidence to excel.

With over 10 years of ballet teaching experience, I believe ballet is both an art of self-expression and a discipline that shapes resilience. I nurture my students’ artistic and technical growth in an inclusive and supportive environment, encouraging them to find joy in the structure of training while developing confidence as performers and individuals.

With more than seven years of experience as a dance teacher and choreographer, I place strong emphasis on teamwork, resilience, and personal growth. My goal is to create a supportive environment where every team member plays a crucial role in collective success. Whether in cheerleading or ballet, I aim to inspire students to push their limits, support each other, and celebrate every achievement together.

I am a dedicated dance education professional specialising in Ballet, Modern Theatre Dance, and Tap. I believe dance is for everyone, and I am committed to promoting excellence in technique while fostering a positive, inclusive, and empowering environment. My passion lies in helping students find both confidence and joy in their dance journey, regardless of their starting point.

I am a passionate and experienced dance teacher with a rich international background. Born into a Hungarian and Portuguese family, I grew up in Budapest and Lisbon before earning my bachelor’s degree from the Hungarian University of Dance in 2013. After further training at the Royal Ballet School in London, Antwerp, and Copenhagen, I moved to Dubai in 2014 to pursue my career. I believe in balancing fun with discipline, ensuring my students enjoy learning in a structured yet playful environment that fosters growth and creativity.

I am a dedicated dance educator and performer who blends technical precision with storytelling and self-expression. A former young Simba in The Lion King, I trained in Amsterdam and worked with renowned choreographers from Alvin Ailey to Beyoncé’s Anthony Burrell. My holistic approach combines technique, theatricality, and musicality to develop well-rounded performers. My mission is to inspire the next generation to dance with purpose, creativity, and confidence.

I am a dynamic drama teacher specialising in drama, improvisation, and speech. With a background in musical theatre, a degree in Theatre from the School of Fine Arts in Tehran, and further training in filmmaking and directing, I bring a rich creative perspective to my classes. I believe every child deserves the freedom to express themselves, and I create a nurturing environment where imagination thrives, confidence grows, and life skills are developed both on and off the stage.

I am a UK-trained performer and educator with over 10 years of teaching experience and a First Class Honours Degree from The Urdang Academy. I have performed in musicals, commercials, and with Sima Dance Company in Dubai. As a registered RAD, ISTD, and LAMDA teacher, I combine strong technique with self-expression to help students thrive. In 2025, I will begin my MA in Education at the Royal Academy of Dance, continuing my commitment to excellence in teaching and learning.

I am a musical theatre performer, writer, and teacher with more than 10 years of experience working with children across Argentina, Madrid, and Dubai. Specialising in early years education, I create imaginative and joyful classes that nurture creativity and confidence. With a professional background in musical theatre, I bring stage experience into every lesson, blending singing, drama, and movement. My philosophy centres on learning through play, giving children the freedom to explore, express themselves, and grow into confident young performers.

I am an internationally experienced dance educator specialising in Contemporary, Jazz, and Hip Hop. I trained in Dance and Performing Arts at GCSE, A Level, and the University of Chichester before performing worldwide. As a qualified UK dance teacher, I have taught GCSE and A Level Dance and worked across a variety of educational settings. My work spans education, community outreach, competitive dance, and fitness. I am passionate about making dance accessible to all and creating inclusive, inspiring environments where every student can grow in skill, confidence, and creativity.
