Meet The Team
Principal
Charlotte Downey
Charlotte Downey has been the Principal at 5678 Performing Arts School since December 2020.
She studied a range of dance styles at Angela Allport School from the age of four, where she first discovered her love for dance.
Charlotte developed this love alongside her sister Gina, performing together in West End Musicals such as Billy Elliot, pantomimes, TV appearances and many a dance competition! A few highlights of which were winning the ‘All England’ final and placing 3rd in the world at the ‘Tap World Championships’ with the Tap Attack England Tap Team… in two separate categories.
Charlotte went on to study Dance and Musical Theatre at ‘Bird College’ in London to achieve her degree and teaching qualifications.
Once returning to England after a 6 month tour of Italy as lead actress in a show she began building her reputation as skilled, enthusiastic and friendly teacher. Charlotte is an ISTD qualified teacher in both Tap and Modern. She has taught, choreographed and delivered workshops across the UK, Italy and Germany.
Charlotte is so happy to be in a position where she can now share her life’s passion and knowledge of dance with the students of 5678 Performing Arts School.
