Our Team
Julie Laming - Principal
With over 20 years of teaching experience, Julie founded M4Dance 15 years ago and remains passionate and dedicated to the development of the young people who are part of this school. As a young teacher with her ISTD and street dance teaching qualifications, she built the school from a handful of students and now runs her own dance and wellbeing centre which has become a permanent home for the school. Her deep passion has always been to inspire children to not only dance but gain greater self-belief and confidence. Every aspect of the wellbeing of every single student is extremely important to her and she works hard to ensure each and every student feels valued, appreciated and cared for.

“We are finally here!!! It feels absolutely amazing to watch our students back on stage and doing what they do best!!! As always, it has been a complete privilege to have worked with our wonderful students as they've been rehearsing this show. To watch them grow in their friendships, connect with their teachers and feel more empowered is so amazing to see. We are so proud of each one of you - enjoy every second!!!
I have loved working with Julie as Assistant Principal this past year! I have always believed dance is capable of offering so much more than just a technique or hobby and I’ve watched dance have a profound impact on young people’s self-belief, expression, understanding of emotion, empowerment and self-value. When I first met Julie and began teaching at Mad4Dance, I was completely hooked and inspired by what she believes in and how she shares it across such a beautiful community. It’s been an honour to have been a part of that over the last 4 years and I am proud to be part of such an amazing team and family...x”
