The Experience Dance and Fitness Team
Gill started out as a mother, then a psychology teacher, then an aerobics and nutrition instructor, finally making her way to becoming a dance instructor. She is a full member of the IDTA and is qualified to teach both Ballroom and Latin dance at Associate level & Latin at Licentiate Level. She also gained Honours in her IDTA Argentine Tango Diploma and has a teacher qualification in Salsa. Gill is also has teacher qualifications other fitness related activities, such as Running, Core Stability, Supple Strength, Weight Management and Pilates, and has the BETA outdoor teacher award. Despite her many qualifications, Gill now restricts herself to teaching ballroom and latin dance, wedding dances and solo salsa. She inspires beginners and improvers alike with her sense of humour and considerable patience! Leanne had been attending Gill's Solo Salsa class for a couple of years before she was asked to work with us. Leanne recently completed her IDTA Salsa Diploma and has almost finished her IDTA teacher training in ballroom. She is a very popular teacher with her approachable manner and friendliness. Leanne now only works for us as a cover teacher as she has recently started her school teacher training. We miss her hugely and look forward to the time when she can return and teach for us on a regular basis. Julie has been with Experience Dance and Fitness for nearly five years. She was a latin american dancer and competitor as a young person, and this is clearly demonstrated in the stylishness of her teaching and dancing. Julie has recently completed her IDTA professional teacher qualification in Ballroom Dancing and Latin dancing at Associate level. Karen has recently completed her Freestyle Associate exam. Karen has two small children and a husband who keep her busy. She is looking forward to extending her training in the future. John has just completed his Ballroom Associate qualification. Due to personal commitments, John is not able to work for us on a weekly basis, but you will probably find him leading some of our Social Dances and Tea Dances, along with his wife, Sharron. Teresa has now completed her Salsa Diploma. She also teaches tap for us, but owing to relocation of her workplace, she is unable to commit to working regular hours for us. She is hoping to return to teach tap for us before long. Vaughan is one of EDF's most prized possessions, in that he is enormously popular, and always there to lend a helping hand to everyone. He has just passed his Argentine Tango Teacher Diploma and is now going to do the training to become a ballroom dance teacher. However, he is in no hurry, as he wishes to spend the immediate future competing in competitions.
