During this time I took all my dance exams, up to and including Advanced level. <\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This prepared and enabled me to continue my dance training at Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts in London, where I gained my A.I.S.T.D Teaching Qualifications.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">After completing my vocational training in London, I would eagerly read The Stage, a British weekly newspaper covering the entertainment industry. Whilst searching for auditions and professional jobs, I came across an advert looking for a new pop group, STEPS. I successfully auditioned and became a member of the group.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">Johnny and I met back in 1999 when working together on the very first Steps tour. <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Both of us are professional singers and dancers, so we have always dreamed of owning our <\/span><span style=\"font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">Performing Arts school.

We feel proud daily when we enter our DPA studios or watch our students perform. We see the same hunger and passion in the eyes of our students. We love being able to pass on our experience and knowledge of the industry we actively work in and love. <\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are thrilled to be able to offer our students multiple genres and classes covering all aspects of training, in a positive and supportive atmosphere.

DPA has provided her with many opportunities to perform at numerous shows and events, this along with all the classes on offer has supported her to grow into a well-rounded performer. DPA has really helped her gain in confidence overall and this has enabled her to also be strong in public speaking which is greatly needed throughout school years and beyond. At shows I have watched in awe of what the children can achieve and how they develop their skills and talents over the years to such a professional standard. The journey throughout gives them a great insight into what's truly involved with a possible Performing Arts career should they wish to follow that path. She loves DPA, has made many strong friendships, and continues to thrive with support of the amazing DPA teachers.
