Dance Sensation started with 5 children and now we have over 200 students whom attend Dance Sensation. Marie absolutely loves her job and is incredibly passionate about what she teaches. It’s also very important that dancing is taught by a fully qualified dance teacher who understands the body and teaches dance in a safe environment. Marie is a fully qualified Imperial Ballet, ISTD Modern and Tap teacher and is very proud of her qualifications. We are an exam based school where the children get to take exams in all 3 genres and we also perform yearly shows shannon allen dance teacher Shannon Allen Contemporary and ISTD Teacher Shannon Allen Shannon started dancing at the age of 8 at Dance Sensation and was trained by Miss Marie, focusing primarily on ISTD dance examinations and performing in multiple musical and dance shows throughout the years.

During her degree course, Shannon performed as Elle Woods in Legally Blonde, Martha in Spring Awakening and ensemble/dance roles in The Witches of Eastwick, Little Shop of Horrors and Cabaret. Since graduating, she performed at various venues within London as a dancer, and modelled for numerous styled shoots before pursuing a career in teaching.

It’s about working in an adult environment, committing yourself to your studies and achieving your aspirations. Our professional, dedicated and industry experienced teaching staff make learning fun and engaging and give you the responsibility and independence you need to take charge of your own future. And, to help you with the transition, we have a comprehensive student support team that can assist with applications, securing funding, careers guidance and personal tutoring, to name just a few services! We have some exceptional resources that replicate real-world working environments including a state-of-the-art recording studio that will allow you to develop and apply theory and practical skills through recording, editing and mixing sessions; well-equipped art, design and graphic studios, as well as a photography studio and darkroom, giving you access to various camera, lighting and backdrop equipment; science labs; sports facilities, and over 350 computers around campus, including four Apple Mac Suites that are dedicated to media and music technology.
