Tina

Dance Teacher & Principal at OD Theatre School

From the age of 5 Tina spent all of her time at Drama and Dance classes, continuously learning new skills, performing in shows, competitions, taking dance exams and making new friends along the way.

Tina trained at both Masters Performing Arts College and Barking College for Performing Arts successfully gaining BTEC, HNC and her Diploma in Performing Arts, Associate ISTD and various drama LAMDA exams grades.

Tina has won Best Supporting Actress – Thurrock Drama Festival, and Winner of Derek Hartley’s Tap Awards 2000.

After the training Tina received along with confidence and determination she headed out into the performing world and was lucky enough to dance and perform all over the world on various contracts with P&O Cruises and Carnival Cruise Lines.
Between Tina’s contracts other performing work she undertook within the UK: Bremner Bird and Fortune CH4. Holby City BBC, Empire Casino London, Murder in Mind BBC, Spooks BBC and various pantomimes including playing the Fairy Godmother in Jack and the Beanstalk.

Tina also proudly danced at the Olympic Opening Ceremony London 2012.

After dancing her way around the world Tina decided it was time for her to offer the performing experiences she had been fortunate to be part of to local children in her home town, discovering that you need all 3 disciplines dance, drama & singing under your belt to succeed, she decided to offer a theatre school incorporating this. Tina along with a team of professional teachers within their field offer students the best tuition, nurturing them to the best performer they can be.  Tina opened the doors of OD Theatre School in January 2011 and has seen the children grow into wonderful strong performers.
