Cheryl Gill

Cheryl is one of our Senior International Examiners for Modern Theatre and Tap, as well as a valued member of our Modern Theatre teaching team.

Since 1984, Cheryl has been Co-Director of the Academy of Dance in Bari, Italy, which she established alongside Diane Durant and Margaret Fenn. Over the years, she has trained pupils and students from Primary through to Fellowship level, nurturing generations of dancers in their development and achievement.

The Academy of Dance was the first school in Southern Italy to offer ISTD Modern Theatre, Tap and Imperial Classical Ballet examinations. In recognition of her significant contribution to dance education, Cheryl was honoured to receive the ISTD International Imperial Award in 2010.

Cheryl has delivered courses throughout Italy and internationally, sharing her expertise with teachers. She is very much looking forward to working with everyone attending the courses.
