Shannon Partridge - Cover Teaching Assistant Joanna Mardon School of Dance

I started dancing at Joanna Mardon School of Dance when I was 3 years old and continued to train in the school until age 19. During my time at the school I achieved up to RAD Grade 8 Ballet and multiple IDTA Jazz and Tap Awards.

Since then I studied a Drama and Theatre degree at the University of Kent and was also heavily involved in it’s Musical Theatre society. It was there that I choreographed numbers for 5 shows, obtained the role of Dance Captain for 4 shows and even had the opportunity to direct the society’s performance of Pippin the Musical.

After graduating University I discovered a love for working with young people as a Teaching Assistant and continued my passion for dancing and the arts. I have been in the ensemble for ELTC’s Kinky Boots at the Northcott Theatre and played Beauty in Pinhoe Pantomine’s Beauty and the Beast.

I plan to expand my career and love for working with young people in September 2026 where I am beginning a Primary PGCE with the University of Exeter to qualify as a Primary School teacher.

I absolutely love sharing my love for dancing with the younger generation and watching them blossom as performers. I am over the moon to have the opportunity to work at the dance school that inspired my passion for dance and theatre.
