Maggie Foyer

After a career in ballet and contemporary dance I completed my teaching qualifications at the Royal Academy of Dance. In addition I am a qualified Pilates teacher I have taught in vocational dance schools in Britain and with companies and schools abroad .I enjoy teaching at all levels. I worked at the Royal Swedish Ballet School for five years and during this time the parents expressed an interest in adult evening classes. These turned out to be extremely successful and enjoyable for all of us! I am delighted to have been asked by Donna to teach similar classes for her in West London. I look forward to developing your knowledge and expertise. The classes will have an element of conditioning exercises in addition to the ballet training.It is important to develop coordination, flexibility, and strength to get the best out of dance training at whatever level. However, they are first and foremost ballet classes and please don't be afraid to ask questions. I will be using a wide range of music and I hope the classes will also be an experience in artistic expression

Maggie is also an experienced professor having taught courses at Open University, is a dance critic writing for many dance publications such as "Dance Europe", and is involved with many human rights projects around the world.We are thrilled to have her teaching her fourth year for us!

Sophie Kverndal
I have a passion for dance and music which was ignited in early childhood and has endured a career outside the dance profession. This passion has finally found its ultimate fulfillment in teaching. I am a qualified RAD dance teacher and have had 5 years experience teaching young children. Having returned to ballet at a rather later stage in life than others I am acutely aware and have experienced first hand the difficulties to be encountered by those who are returning to ballet after a long break or indeed by those who have never studied ballet. In providing the teaching for the beginners course I aim to ignite/reignite in students the same passion for dance which I feel myself. Dancing enables us to express our joy, our delight, our frustration whilst providing a physical outlet to keep us fit. I will provide classes which slowly build sufficient technique to provide an outlet for self-expression and which are ultimately fun, friendly and full of music !

Sophie is also a Mum of two boys and is an avid participant in the open Monday morning classes. We are very happy to have her presenting this course this Autumn.
