Gemma

Gemma teaches at our Baby and Mini Theatre classes.

Gemma’s love of performance and dance all started as a child in West Yorkshire where she grew up. There she completed all of her Freestyle awards before branching out to Contemporary when she moved to Preston to study Dance, Performance and Teaching at Uclan.

Whilst studying, she joined Preston Musical Comedy Society’s Show Choir and has also been in a number of their productions at The Charter Theatre. These include being part of the Hotbox in Guys and Dolls, and more recently as a dancer in Spamalot.

She has choreographed or been part of the production team for a number of productions, most recently Jack and The Beanstalk with Preston Musical Comedy Society.

Gemma has always enjoyed working and bringing out everyone’s confidence and belief in themselves and she hopes that working at Fylde Coast TheatreWorx, she will get that chance and she can not wait to get to know each and every one of our students.
