Teaching Team

Katy trained as a professional dancer in Edinburgh in 2006 and has performed in a variety of shows across the country and in Paris. Subsequently she qualified as an R.A.D. Ballet teacher and I.S.T.D. Modern and Tap teacher.

Since moving to London in 2009 she has taught all levels of dance both in central London and at the Bamforth Dance Academy, Surrey.

Her pupils have received 100% pass rate with all exams taken and several of her students have been accepted at leading dance colleges in and around London, for example, Arts Ed, Urdang, Creative Academy and Reed College. Katy has also choreographed pieces for GCSE and A-Level Dance.

Becoming Principal of her own school is the culmination of years of hard work and experience which now allows her to promote her love of dance and encourage others to reach their full potential.

Vicky trained at the Jeanne Bamforth School of Dance from the age of 3 where she completed her vocational level training in ballet, tap and modern. She is currently working towards her Level 6 Diploma in Dance Pedagogy and is a member of the ISTD.

After college, Vicky danced professionally for over 10 years across South America, Greece, the U.S. and Spain, where she performed in shows with a long list of national headline acts; choreographed and danced in video clips, appeared in regular live tv performances and spent 5 years as resident choreographer to a team of dancers in Venezuela.

Over the last 18 years, she has been raising her daughter and has been teaching students from their first steps to advanced level – many of whom have gone on to graduate from UK performing arts universities.
Over the last 8 years Vicky has worked closely with the school principal to help found the Katy Anne Robinson School of Dance. She is passionate about the school, it’s ethos and bringing the fun and enjoyment of dance to every student. She prides herself on an inclusive dance practice that helps every pupil access expression, creativity, and musicality through dance.

Miss Vicky prepares our students for RAD and ISTD examinations but particularly loves showtime !!.. where she co-leads the creative direction and choreographic content of the schools showcases and displays.

She is great with dancers of all ages and also teaches adult ballet and ‘stretch and flow’ classes, as well as guiding our student teachers

Miss Vicky loves being part of the KAR team and our dance family ❤️
