About

I'm Chantelle Poole, Principal of Chantelle Poole School of Dance. I graduated with distinction from the Royal Academy of Dance's Professional Dancers' Teaching Diploma in 2015. My dance journey started in Devon, leading to training at the Royal Ballet School’s Senior Associates and Elmhurst School for Dance, where I performed with Birmingham Royal Ballet.

After graduation, I worked as a freelance dancer, appearing on TV, film, and stage. Highlights include performing with Leona Lewis at the Michael Jackson Tribute Concert, Darcy Bussell at the Olympic Closing Ceremony, and roles on "X-Factor" and "The Other Woman." I’ve also danced aboard Cunard's Queen Elizabeth and with the English National Ballet in "Swan Lake" at the Royal Albert Hall.

Now, I teach children and adults throughout Kent, offering opportunities for dancers to participate in shows, festivals, and Royal Academy of Dance exams. My goal is to inspire dancers of all ages to reach their full potential through fun, professional training.
