Tappy Toes Ferndown is a dance school specialising in providing music, movement, and dance classes for children from 6 months to 5 years old. The school is led by Brooke, a passionate and experienced dance practitioner who aims to make dance accessible to all in the community.
Brooke's love for dance started at a young age when she began ballet classes at 'The Carrington Hollywood Dance Academy' at the age of 2. She quickly fell in love with dance and went on to gain all grades in RAD ballet and IDTD tap and modern. She even had the opportunity to perform for the touring show 'That'll be the Day' for over 8 years.
To expand her skill set and gain more confidence as a performer, Brooke joined 'Big Little Theatre School,' where she learned to sing and act alongside her dance training. She also taught RAD pre-primary to grade 1 ballet, helping young dancers prepare for exams and performances.
Brooke pursued her passion for dance further by studying dance at the 'Arts University Bournemouth. ' The course covered various aspects of the dance sector, including performance, choreography, improvisation, nutrition, and fitness. Brooke found the unit on 'dance community practitioner' particularly fascinating, as it allowed her to work with different demographics and make dance accessible to all.
