Shuffles School of Dance

Kerry started dancing at the age of 6 with the Hawkes school of dancing. At 21 she moved to Footsteps stage school where she completed her first associate in Tap.

Kerry went on to open Shuffles School of Dance in October 2001. Shuffles was initially intended to run on a Saturday morning however, filled up quickly and Kerry had to add more classes during the week so more people would be able to benefit from the experience she could offer.

Shuffles is still growing and is one of the most popular schools in the East End of London. Kerry trains students in the theatre subjects of Tap, Ballet, Theatre Craft, Contemporary Modern Jazz, Freestyle and Acrobatics with a 100% pass rate for examinations and always ensuring all students are trained to an excellent standard. Kerry also trains other dance teachers in all theatre subjects so that they can go on to deliver quality dance teaching themselves. Kerry trained for years under the watchful eye of Miss Yvonne Gout - Former president of the IDTA, and she now continues to train with IDTA examiner Alison Plummer. Kerry is also a qualified teacher with Acrobatic Arts and Alixa Flexibility.

Paige grew up with a performing arts background. She started dancing with Italia Conti at the tender age of 3 years which led to her gaining a scholarship whilst at secondary school.

From there Paige went on to study at the prestigious Brit School. Paige continued her dance studies at a performing arts University where she took DDI and DDE dance teaching qualifications, naturally passing with flying colours.

Paige has had the privilege of dancing and performing in some amazing venues, but her favourites have been performing in the West-End, and she was honoured to have been chosen to perform in the opening ceremony of the London Olympics.

Paige brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to Shuffles and we are delighted that she has joined our team.
