Meet Our Team

Lead Dance Tutor – Ellesha Blakeley

I began dancing at the age of 3 and went on to study at CAPA Juniors, a secondary school with specialist Performing Arts pathways, before progressing to CAPA College. I am a professionally trained versatile dancer, Musical Theatre performer, and fire artist, having recently graduated from Dancebox Studios & Theatre Works with a BA Hons in Professional Dance and Musical Theatre. My professional credits include performing in the Aladdin Pantomime with Bradford Playhouse, as a resident dancer for Popworld, event showgirl for Angelic Talent, street dance teacher for Noodle Performance Arts, and assistant teacher at Move It with Ben Adams. I am thrilled to join Seasons as Lead Dance Tutor and look forward to meeting everyone!

Singing Tutor – Daisy-Mae Wade

Hi, I’m Daisy-Mae, the singing tutor at Seasons. I have been training in Performing Arts from a young age and continue to advance my passions in Musical Theatre at CAPA College, where I receive industry-level training. I have performed in various productions throughout my training, and I am eager to pass on my knowledge to students. I cover many different styles and can’t wait to help students find their voices and watch them progress!

Assistant Tutor – Niamh Burnham

My love for drama began at a Saturday morning acting class, just like those at Seasons, when I was 4 years old. What started as a hobby became a passion, and I trained at CAPA College, developing my acting and theatre skills in both staged and on-screen performances. This experience has given me the opportunity to teach and inspire new students, helping them grow their confidence as I did. Joining Seasons has provided me with valuable knowledge and experience, and I am excited to begin drama school next year. I look forward to meeting the students and watching them flourish into confident performers!

Assistant Tutor – D’Juan Tomlinson

Hello, I’m D’Juan, but everyone calls me DJ! I’m thrilled to be part of the Seasons team, where I teach theatre, singing, and dancing. My passion for Performing Arts began in my childhood, where I performed in cultural events, family gatherings, and choirs, and took lead roles in musicals while studying A-levels. Musical Theatre and acting allow me to express my unique style of art, and I am excited to inspire young students at Seasons to do the same!
