Ella

Dance Teacher
Ella started dancing from a young age at Drapers, and competed in Ballroom and Latin American before being drawn to freestyle and street. Having a real family connection to the school as we have taught her parents and all her siblings, it’s just meant to be that she’s our head of freestyle nowadays! But don’t be deceived, she’ll be just as quick to fix your cha cha – and definitely one of our all rounders.

He understands the need to alter his teaching approach for different ability levels, and enjoys taking a beginner class just as much as coaching high level competitive dancers. Laughter is a common sound to come from his classes, but it’s not all fun and games – Scott’s methodical approach ensures his pupils get through all the steps.
