Eve Barnett
Eve’s love for dance and performing arts started at the tender age of 3. Eve attended The Dance Factory where she excelled in all genres of dance. Eve competed in many competitions across the country winning numerous awards. At the age of 17 Eve join the prestigious Urdang Academy where she completed her Level 3 Cambridge Technical Diploma in Dance. Soon after this Eve decided her true passion within the industry lay with teaching and choreography. Eve gained her teaching qualifications with I.D.T.A and is also a qualified Acrobatic Arts teacher. In 2021 Eve founded EJB Choreography. As a freelance teacher and choreographer Eve has worked with many schools in the country. Choreographing award winning pieces at competitions such as Global Dance, All England Finals and Dance World Cup. Eve also won the Barbara Sharples International Choreography award in 2023.Opening my own dance company has always been a lifelong dream, so being given the opportunity to take over such a high-achieving school is truly a privilege. My goal is to continue creating a safe, supportive space where students of all ages and abilities can grow into confident, accomplished performers. It’s incredibly important to me that we cater both to those who dance for enjoyment and to students seeking more advanced training, providing the strong foundations needed for a future career in the performing arts. I’m excited to bring new opportunities, fresh experiences, and endless possibilities to every student across the school.

Louise Lawton
Teaching and choreography has always been a passion for me that started over 30 years ago.I dedicate my time now to teaching ballet and progressive ballet technique, I love teaching ballet because it combines artistry and technique while giving me the opportunity to mentor and inspire students, guiding dancers in their progress and seeing their dedication come to life is deeply fulfilling.
Zoe Pembroke
I trained at London Studio Centre and, whilst there, I was also Dance Captain for Tap Attack’s England Tap Team. After graduating, I danced all around the world for over a decade on cruise ships and various other contracts, as well as performing in tours and TV back in England, working with some of the very best choreographers.
I quickly realised during Covid that I couldn’t be without dance in my life on a daily basis! So, I embarked on my teacher training with the ISTD, gaining my DDE. I am passionate about tap and I love helping students build confidence with their tap technique. I also particularly love teaching preschool and being a part of their first skip or their first plié. I love introducing them into the world of dance and all I ever want is for my students to love dancing like I love dancing.

As I’ve trained in dance my whole life having the opportunity to pass on the knowledge I have gained to the new generation of dancers is something very special.
I love to teach all ages of dance, and having the chance to teach the new mini team is something I look forward to every week. Their excitement and joy when in the room makes the classes so enjoyable!
Being a part, no matter how big or small of dancers journeys and seeing their growth is something so rewarding to me and I look forward to teaching these superstars every week.
