Mr
Mark Willemite
Innovation,
creativity and inspiration are the qualities Mark believes
are essential in an ever-changing dance world. Mark
started dancing at the age of nine, an event that unknowingly
was to set the course of his life.
His
parents agreed he would join the then Eden School of
Dancing at the invitation of Edna Cattermoul, for a
trial three weeks only, if he didn’t enjoy it
he would leave. I think it is fair to say Mark’s
involvement in dance has extended beyond those initial
three weeks. Loving the music and the freedom of expression
that dance gives, Mark has danced from that time on.
Mark has trained many young competitive dancers to British
and International level. Over the years, he has produced
several British juvenile champions and many junior and
youth finalists. His involvement is inexhaustible, he
clearly has an eye for detail and an understanding of
peoples needs on an emotional and practical level .Working
alongside Nicky Miles, together they run the very successful
Star Dance Club in Kent, where they teach all ages from
Beginner to Professional level.
As
well as teaching, Mark has lectured twice for the World
Congress and has choreographed children for numerous
shows for the Royal Variety Club, Palladium and Sadler’s
Wells. In the past he appeared on the original series
of Come Dancing and more recently worked on Strictly
Come Dancing and the exciting Olympic Torch Parade at
the Festival Hall celebrating the torches journey through
the capital. The Star Dance Club gets involved in anything
that is a vehicle to promote dancing.
In addition to this, Mark has been present on the Latin
American Faculty Committee for the last 12 months. He
shows real commitment and dedication.
