Alesha 

Alesha is ISTD trained in Ballet, Tap, Modern Jazz and Contemporary and has completed exams in all of them, now focusing on the final two Advanced exams.

Over the past few years, Alesha has been teaching in several theatre and dance schools in Cardiff and is so happy to pass on her knowledge and watch how her students grow and improve.
She teaches both dance and singing, as well as assistant directing and being lead musical director for lots of local productions. She also produced her first short musical last year and can’t wait to do another.

Alesha recently passed her DDE exams in Ballet and Modern Jazz and is excited to be entering her first students into their exams soon. She learned so much and can’t wait to pass this on to her students and share the joy of dance. She is looking into taking her DDE Tap exam next!

Alesha only started dancing at the age of 17, and being a late starter feels that she can provide a unique and fresh take on tips for technique, strength-building and maintaining a positive attitude even during challenging classes. She has a special passion for ballet in particular and loves nothing more than watching her students achieve new things.
Alesha has been thoroughly enjoying her time with Adult Ballet Wales and is looking forward to working with students.
