Miss Tilly
Having trained at ‘The Brit School’ and ‘Wilkes Academy’, Miss Tilly has gathered a collection of knowledge that she feels important to share to the younger generations to help them grow and excel in the discipline of dance. Whilst training at ‘Wilkes Academy’, Miss Tilly was a part of the highly acknowledged Tap Dance group ‘Tap Attack’. Working closely with world renowned choreographers and having close connections to others in the Musical Theatre and Commercial industry, Miss Tilly has so much to offer.
Miss Tilly believes that along with learning multiple genres of dance, it is important to help build and shape the children of today into respectful and responsible people. Dance teaches so much more than just steps to music. It helps build resilience and teaches the children fundamental parts to life outside of the studio.
