Adults Tap & Ballet Teacher

Hi I'm Polly, Sharon taught me from a very young age meaning I spent all my childhood making lovely dance memories with her.

I have earned my Advanced Classical Ballet Award, a 1st class degree of dance at the Royal Holloway Universiy of London and I have appeared in Pantomimes and most recently I was a part of the Lapland UK Manchester experience. 

I am furthering my dance education and currenlty studying my Dance Masters.

Admin & Backstage Manager

​Emma​

I began dancing as a child and continued until the age of 10. Since then, I have remained closely involved with Sharon, initially supporting backstage alongside my mum. When she retired, I proudly stepped into the role of Backstage Manager for our shows.

I currently attend the Adult Tap classes and love being part of the Starlight community. My involvement has continued to grow, and I now work as the Saturday Admin Assistant. I am also exploring Teaching Assistant training so that I can further support our pupils in the classroom.
