I began my DDE in Modern Theatre Dance with Lesley in 2018 while at college, where her guidance and knowledge helped me successfully complete the practical unit work. Since then, she has continued to support me through each unit, providing feedback that has helped me gain my qualifications, strengthen my teaching style and build confidence in leading a class.
Thank you again!

Lesley has been my tutor through the entire DDE qualification process, supporting and guiding me through each unit, firstly in person and then through distance learning. With her expertise I have been able to strengthen my confidence in teaching and find my own teaching style. I am very grateful to you Lesley for all of your hard work over the years, we did it!
