Hi, I’m Rachel – one of the directors here at Bradford Active Dance (B.A.D)!
I’ve loved dance since I was little, and that passion has stayed with me all the way through to studying it at university, where I completed a BA in Dance and a Masters in Choreography.
For over 10 years, I’ve been teaching dance in communities and schools, working with an amazing mix of people – from young children and their families to older adults, including those in SEND settings and people living with dementia. I feel incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to share dance with so many different individuals.
Hi my name is Stefian, I’ve been teaching for over 15 years. Dance is basically my life. I’m all about providing experience & cultural exchange with dance.
Hello I’m Reena, I love dance because it’s fun, freeing, and a powerful way to express yourself. I especially enjoy working with kids — they’re full of energy, always bring a smile, and make every day different.
It is incredibly rewarding and can be challenging at times, but seeing children grow in confidence, creativity, and joy makes it all worth it.
Hi I’m Phoebe, and I have danced for as long as I can remember!
I have a BA honours in Dance from Leeds Beckett University. Reaching children from lower advantage areas is the privilege of my job. I want to teach the kids that we can all be creative and can be whatever we want to be.
I’m Esther, for me dance is Life! When I’m dancing I’m living…I become alive. I LOVE it!
I first dancing at the age of 3, training in Ballet, Tap & Jazz. At the age of 16 I was lucky enough be accepted into Phoenix Dance Youth Academy training in Contemporary. I then went on to study at Phil Winston’s Theatreworks and after graduating I have worked as a professional dancer. I now teach children and adults in various primary schools and community centres and hope to be able to pass on my knowledge of dance.
When I’m not teaching I enjoy running, gym and going to reformer Pilates.
