Miss Coulthurst first started teaching with adult education in Bedfordshire and developed a real joy for teaching. After working as an assistant at a large Ballet School, she went on to open her own Dancing School over 25 years ago.

She has always been passionate about dancing, and the main ethos at the ajs Dance Academy is to foster the love of dance as an art form.  We are a dancing school with a focus on "technique", and strive to help each pupil to work towards goals and to achieve their own personal best.  We teach with an individual approach to each pupil, within a structured environment with a strong emphasis on developing a child's technical ability.  Our approach to teaching is to foster a good working relationship between the teacher, pupil and parent, and we firmly believe that the self discipline and the lessons learned within our working environment will be a life long skill.  Our classes are full of fun and are hard work and every child is encouraged to find confidence and to express themselves within the genre of dance.  Past pupils have gone on to be dancers, teachers or to study dance at university and it is now a testimony that so many past pupils are returning with their children to have the sort of experience that they did whilst dancing at ajs Dance Academy....
