Nick’s dance training started as a very young boy. Not wanting to miss out on the opportunities given to his older sister, he demanded that he should also be taken to ballet class! His love of dance and performing arts then grew into his teenage years, inspired by watching and performing in musicals and dancing multiple times with the National English Youth Ballet. At 18, Nick got a scholarship to train in Musical Theatre at the Urdang Academy, where he studied in London. Since then, Nick has been performing as well as teaching, with some highlights including touring China, performing at the O2 Arena, Pantomimes, dancing with Jason Gardner for ITV and even a short time in a pop group with a song in the top 100! Now teaching, Nick is keen to pass on the physical skills, artistic insight, and opportunities that performing have given him over the years, to the next generation.

Jamie has been with OSPA since it’s opening in late 2014. Before OSPA Jamie was a teen student stuck in a repetitive cycle where he was not encouraged or pushed to continue his path within the arts - at this point it was still a hobby to Jamie and he lacked focus. 

When Jamie joined OSPA as a student, he was encouraged more than he'd ever been to pursue a career in the arts and given the opportunities and knowledge to strive for his dream. 

Fast forward to 2021, Jamie is no longer a student but a qualified IDTA teacher with a University Degree in Diverse Dance Styles. 

Jamie feels proud to be able to teach alongside his mentors and be able to now be that role model for the next generation of OSPA students. 

Along side his teaching and coaching he is a 5 time National Street Dance Champion and continues to perform as a dancer in the industry.

Summer has always had a passion for dance specifically street since the age of 5. She began her training with Scariofunk Dance Collective gaining her knowledge of urban styles such as house, krump, hip hop, waking, popping, locking and breaking. Aswell as competing in some of the biggest competitions in the UK such as street dance championships and hip hop international.

At the age of 10 Summer decided to branch out her dance knowledge training at J’s Dance Factory alongside Miss Danielle receiving honours in IDTA as well as performing in regular events.

Summer started her journey with OSPA in 2015 when she was offered a year scholarship at the school by Miss Danielle which allowed her to take time to train different styles such as, ballet, singing and gymnastic.

She continued her training and in 2017 joined one of the leading hip hop crews Flawless UK, performing on some of the biggest Stages in the UK including O2 Arena, the main stage at Move It and countless music videos and festivals.
Summer has also recently joined Myself UK one of the leading Female Hip Hop companies.

Alongside her training Summer has also been teaching since 2017 following her passion of mentoring children like she once was.
