Teaching team

---

I have been dancing, teaching & choreographing for the past 10 years now. My career so far has allowed me to work in TV, film, theatre, music videos, film-dance & live events. My professional training in jazz, ballet and contemporary pushes me to create interesting movement using a fusion of these styles. Currently continuing my advanced training through the RAD, I look for dancers who invest themselves in their craft! I am the Creative Director of the ‘Gavin Williams Dance Company’ which is specifically tailored to train the next generation of creative artists and associate level industry dancers. I have professionally trained under some of the best professionals in Scotland at West College Scotland and The Scottish School of Contemporary Dance, as well as collaborations/worked alongside many international professionals. I believe that a dancer has to be as much of an athlete as they are an artist! 

Eve joined the company to be part of our Pippa Perkins Cast and has already this year had big roles in our Little Shop of Horror, Cry Baby and Addams Family Productions and will be Sandy at the next Adult Production, Grease. Eve brings excellent experience to the role as Assistant Director and volunteers her time to assist in Encore classes and rehearsals. Eve will always welcome you and help you in any circumstance and understands the bigger picture. Having Eve on board with us really helps in so many ways to add additional professionalism to our services.

 At 8 years old I was a student at Encore and became passionate about musical theatre. Since then I have gained lots of experience in both film and theatre. I've performed in locations such as the Edinburgh Fringe, SSE Hydro, Shaftesbury Theatre and many more! I've had opportunities to appear on Channel 4,BBC, FIFA World Cup ads and most recently 2022's blood donation advert on STV. I love all aspects of musical theatre however I have a particular interest in dancing! A while back I was a dancer in Sophie Ellis Bextor's new video "Hypnotized". I have a HNC in Musical Theatre and I am now studying HND in Musical Theatre. During my HNC I was given the opportunity to perform as an ensemble member in South Lanarkshire's panto 'Beauty and the Beast'. I will be participating again this year in 'Cinderella'. I adore teaching and using my experience to help the kids become familiar with the industry so that they can reach their full potential!
