ABOUT US
We are highly trained professionals who absolutely love our job!
It's not every day you get to do what you love, and share it with your best friend.
OUR DANCE SCHOOL
Both of us joined Hotsteps Dance in it's first year of opening and we feel so privileged to have been on the journey with the school since the beginning. The school has grown so much over the years and we are proud of everything we have achieved so far.
Hotsteps Dance was founded in 1998 by Steph Gunn and we thank her for opening the dance school and giving us the opportunity to be where we are today!
​
OUR HELPERS
We love working alongside one another but we also couldn't do it without the help from our wonderful dancers. Over the years many of our dancers volunteer to help out with the younger classes and not only does this give us an extra pair of hands, but they are also role models for our younger members.
​
We strive to be a part of every child's development, improving their technique and performance as dancers, but also developing their self-esteem and confidence and encouraging kindness and the willingness to always help others.
​
A big shoutout and thank you to our current helpers Lara, Louise, Bonnie, Isabella & Poppy!
OUR DANCERS
Our dancers are aged from 4 right up to 25 (currently!).
They are a very welcoming bunch and continually make us proud!
We are always looking for extra opportunities to give them and we perform annually at Hatfield Peverel's Party in the Park, and for many years performed in First Feat at The Queen's Theatre. We have also performed in a Panto at Thameside Theatre, in Hornchurch's Christmas Light turn on, and in West End Theatres including Her Majesty's Theatre and Shaftesbury Theatre. In addition, we have taken our senior groups abroad to perform at The Benidorm Palace and in Salou.
​
We also have a performance coming up at Wembley Stadium which we are very excited about!
