Miss Eden
Principal
Hi, my name is Eden and I am the proud owner of Ribbon Academy of Dance. I have been dancing since the age of three and have worked my way through ISTD examinations to advance levels across a range of dance genres.
I’ve known from a young age that I wanted to be a dance teacher so after completing my A-levels, I began teaching dance and worked in early years education, whilst completing my ISTD (Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing) DDE qualifications in Ballet, Tap and Modern.
I have also completed qualifications to become a certified teacher for both Acrobatic Arts and PBT (Progressive Ballet Technique). Ribbon Academy of Dance opened on April the 22nd 2023 and it has been an incredible journey since then.
I am excited about the continued growth of our dance family and the upcoming events opportunities for our dancers.
Miss Elise
Teacher
Hi, my name is Elise and I am very proud to be part of the Ribbon Academy of Dance teaching team!
I am a fully qualified ISTD teacher in Ballet, Tap and Modern, having graduated with my DDE teaching qualifications in February 2026. I have been dancing since the age of three and have gained ISTD Advanced 2 qualifications in Ballet, Tap, Modern and National Dance.
After leaving school, I completed a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Dance at Studio 79 in Leicester before going on to train at the prestigious Bird College in London, where I graduated with a BA (Hons) in Professional Dance and Musical Theatre.
I have a passion for choreography and launched Elise Jade Choreography in November 2022. In both 2025 and 2026, I was proud to be a choreographer for Team England, creating work that achieved incredible success at the Dance World Cup. Alongside this, I teach at dance schools across the Midlands and love inspiring the next generation of dancers.
Miss Lilli

Hi, my name is Lilli and I really enjoy assisting with the classes at Ribbon Academy of Dance.
I help the younger children get ready for class and I am there if they need anything or if they have any questions throughout the lessons.
I have danced from a young age and have successfully completed both RAD and ISTD examinations in Ballet, Tap and Modern Dance.
I have also competed successfully at local competitions. Alongside my dancing I am also completing a Media level 3 at college.
Miss Amy
Teacher
Hi my name is Amy, and I am very excited to have joined the team at Ribbon Academy of Dance.
I began dancing at the age of two and I have trained in various different dance genres growing up, and have completed various IDTA and RAD examinations.
At the age of eighteen I moved to London to complete my degree in Contemporary Dance at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance.During that time I was fortunate enough to perform in different works created by various London based dance artists, meanwhile creating my own choreographic works such as live performances and a dance film project.
Four years later, I have now graduated and I am looking forward to being part of a fun and creative dance family that helps to nurture the talent of young dancers.
