Statement from the principal - Nikki Eadie Miss Eadie
Nikki Eadie trained at the Marilyn Harris School of Dance in Wolverhampton and completed her teacher training in 1993. Her ambition was actually to dance as a professional dancer and get teaching certificates. While training as a dance teacher, she gained teaching posts at several RAD dance schools in Birmingham and Wolverhampton. She gained great experience while teaching for a RAD examiner.
She quickly realised that teaching children dance was her true calling in life. After acquiring a registered teacher status with the RAD and ISTD, she decided to dedicate her life to teaching dance and not performing. As a child, she took part in dance festivals around the West Midlands. She appeared in four professional pantomimes at the Grand Theatre alongside stars such as Max Boyce, John Inman, Jessica Martin, Jimmy Cricket, Little and Large, Darna and Les Dennis.
She held the post of dance lecturer at the City of Wolverhampton College for 10 years within the Performing Arts Department where she taught on the 'National Diploma in Performing Arts'. During this time, she also taught at 3 other private dance schools in Wolverhampton and Birmingham.
Miss Eadie taught ballet and modern as a peripatetic teacher at Chase Academy in Cannock for 13 years. After gaining a total of 20 years' dance teaching experience, she finally decided that in March 2012 she would start her own dance school, building it up from pre-school. With the joy and enthusiasm she has for teaching dance, along with the dedication and determination to run a high standard and successful school, Miss Eadie would like to welcome you to share her love for dance.

Miss Daisy
Miss Daisy started her dance training with Miss Eadie at the age of 3 and hasn’t looked back since. Her initial love was ballet but she soon realised that she enjoyed all genres of dance. Through primary school and secondary school she thoroughly enjoyed participating in all performances and was regularly chosen to represent her school in house arts events. She was lucky enough to be able to select GCSE dance as one of her options and she went on to study A Level dance at King Edward VI College in Stourbridge in which she excelled.
Miss Daisy has assisted Miss Eadie in class since her early teenage years and is delighted to now have her ‘dream job’ teaching for TipToes alongside Miss Eadie.
She is rapidly furthering her teaching qualifications and has already gained her Acrobatic Arts Preschool qualification and her Acrobatic Arts Module 1 qualification along with a First Aid qualification. Most recently she has become a qualified Acrobatic Arts mentor which allows her to train and mentor all of our TipToes class assistants.
She looks forward to furthering her qualifications with other dance societies, such as the IDTA. Miss Daisy particularly enjoys the challenge of choreography and setting show dances for all of her amazing students who make her so proud.
Dance to success
"My daughter dances with Miss Eadie at Tip Toes Dance Academy and absolutely loves her lessons. As a family, we welcome her opportunity to perform in front of an audience in annual dance show and build her confidence by attaining rosettes and medals in optional dance examinations each year. Definite recommendation."

Safeguarding and New Classes
All teachers are fully insured, and DBS checked.
We provide an array of dance genres, classes for children of all ages are available in Ballet, Tap, Lyrical and Acrobatic Arts.
In February, we launched a brand new class 'Ballet With My Baby' where the parent /carer assists their little one through the class.
This beautiful class is suitable for walking age to 2.5yrs and is the perfect way to introduce ballet and the world of dance to your little one. Parents/Carers do participate in the class. Due to its popularity we will be continuing to run these classes every Thursday and Friday 9:30am-10:00am & Saturday 11:15am-11:45am in Wombourne & Penn during term time. Moving on from this class your tiny dancer will progress to the older Pre School Ballet and Tap class where children are now encouraged to dance without their parents/carers joining in with them but still they stay in class and watch.
All our classes are held at Penn United Reformed Church, Springdale Methodist Church, Allen Memorial Hall & Westfield Primary School.
At Tip Toes it is the love for dance and the development of confidence, co- ordination, musicality and social skills that are most important.
