Dannii has been passionate about performing arts from a young age, beginning dance, singing and acting at just two and a half years old. She went on to train professionally at the prestigious Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in London, graduating with a First-Class BA (Hons) Degree in Musical Theatre.
Alongside teaching, Dannii has enjoyed a successful career as a professional performer and choreographer, working across theatre, television, film and commercial productions. Her credits include Rocketman, the Queen B: The Beyoncé Experience UK tour, Fireman Sam Live, and numerous pantomimes and theatrical productions. She has also choreographed a range of youth and college productions, sharing her professional experience with the next generation of performers.
In 2020, Danielle founded Inspire with a vision of creating a welcoming community where children and adults could grow in confidence through the performing arts. What began as a small school has grown into a thriving performing arts community of over 350 students, offering weekly classes, Saturday academies, holiday clubs and multiple full-scale productions each year.
Dannii is passionate about creating opportunities for performers of all ages and abilities. Her goal has always been to provide high-quality training in a supportive environment where every student feels valued, challenged and inspired to reach their full potential.
"There is nothing more rewarding than watching someone grow in confidence and achieve something they never thought possible. Seeing our students flourish on and off the stage is why Inspire exists."

About Us
Meet Our Team
Georgia has been singing, dancing, and acting since the age of two and has had a passion for performing from an early age. She went on to study at Weston University, where she graduated with a First Class BA (Hons) degree.
Georgia began her Inspire journey by assisting in the younger children’s classes before progressing to teaching nine classes each week. She loves helping children grow in confidence, develop their performance skills, and discover a love for the performing arts.
In 2024, Georgia helped create the Inspire Academy and is incredibly proud to have brought productions including Cinderella, Annie, Peter Pan, and Moana to the stage. Musical Directing Moana was particularly special, as it involved teaching the cast Polynesian-inspired vocal work, challenging harmonies, and ensemble singing. From September 2026, Georgia is excited to launch the Junior Academy, beginning a new chapter where she can continue to inspire and support the next generation of young performers.
Alongside teaching, Georgia performs as part of Inspire’s adult cast and supports fellow performers with ensemble singing. Outside of term time, Georgia loves being part of Inspire’s holiday clubs, where she enjoys introducing children to the joy of singing, dancing, acting, and making new friends through creative and engaging workshops.
