Mags De'ath
Principal
Mags is a former professional dancer whose performing journey began at just three years old. She trained at a leading London stage school and college, where she earned her National Diploma in Performing Arts.
After graduating, she joined the professional cabaret group, touring across Europe and gaining her Equity membership.
Her teaching and choreographic career has since taken her to prestigious stage schools and productions throughout the UK, including her recent work as a choreographer on a popular Channel 4 drama.
Committed to furthering her education, Mags became a member of the IDTA after achieving an outstanding 96% in her Associate Freestyle examination, a result that earned her a nomination for the respected John Dilworth Scholarship.
With extensive industry experience, Mags offers invaluable guidance to students and parents about the world of performing arts.
Following the birth of her son, Dylan, she founded Dylan’s Academy of Dance — and the rest, as they say, is history.
Hannah began dancing at the age of three and made her professional debut at just eight years old in a pantomime at The Alhambra Theatre, Bradford.
Throughout her training, she has performed and competed at prestigious venues such as Blackpool Opera House, The Royal Albert Hall in London, and even Disneyland Paris.
Her talent and dedication led her to successfully audition for YMT UK (Youth Music Theatre), where she performed in The Dance Connection at The Barbican in Plymouth.
Alongside performing, Hannah developed a passion for teaching. She began working toward her qualifications and now loves inspiring and nurturing the next generation of dancers.
Under the mentorship of Mags, Hannah achieved an impressive 96% in her Associate teaching examination, earning her a nomination for the esteemed John Dilworth Scholarship.
