I can’t wait to welcome your little stars to our classes at Swish. Here you can expect fun and excitement as we take your children on an adventure to becoming shining stars, whether it be through building confidence, making friends, or performing on stage.

I’ve had extensive professional experience, training at Laine Theatre Arts before performing in the West End and across the world in shows such as Cats, Wicked, Carousel, The Brit Awards, We Will Rock You, and Shrek. I’m so excited to share my love of the stage with all of you here at Swish, Chelmsford.
