The Teaching Faculty

Read Dance & Theatre College is very proud of its excellent team of teachers, all of whom are exceptionally experienced in their field.

Our regular teachers are also frequently joined by guest teachers from across the Musical Theatre industry, inlcuding visiting teachers from Arts Ed, London Studio Centre and GSA who help our students prepare for auditions.

We are very fortunate to have a newly-formed Board of Advisors to lead the college, who are made up of experts from across the theatre industry.

“ It always amazes me how dedicated the teachers were to each and every one of the students, and how personal the tuition was. I
just simply wouldn’t be where I am now without them"
Sophia Nomvete - former student now appearing at the National Theatre, and previously in Our House, Fame and Footloose in the West End
