Meet The Team

Lindsay does the stuff in the background, ensuring things run smoothly so the teachers can focus on being teachers!

Chanelle joined DN in early 2014, soon becoming the owner and Principal of our very first franchise, the Edinburgh Crewe Branch.

Now a core part of team, Chanelle oversees the exam progression of all students and including those moving on to dance college.
