Meet the Team

Miss Vicky, our principal is a busy mum to 3 of her own beautiful children but is a proud dance mum to almost 200 pupils. She lives and breathes TVA and she wouldn't have it any other way. One New Year's Eve in 1986, whilst watching a production of Swan Lake on TV, Vicky was inspired to begin her dance journey. Her mum signed her up for dance lessons the following week. “That passion and hobby has grown into my career and my life and I only hope our pupils find as much joy as I have over the years.” Vicky opened TVA in 2005 at the young age of 21 after completing her training at Mary Halfords School of Dance. She then went on to teaching training at Liverpool Dance Academy. From then on she has dedicated all those years to building TVA into what it is today.

Miss Olivia started at TVA when she was six and is now part of the TVA teaching team. Olivia studied at LIPA sixth form college and gained her UAL extended diploma in dance and went on to obtain her degree from The Hammond School in Musical Theatre. Alongside teaching, Olivia still takes classes whenever she can to keep improving as a performer and give the pupils at TVA as much professional knowledge as possible.
