‘I love working on technique and performance with students and making the sessions fun!’

Abi Turner

Commercial Coach

My name is Abi Turner I am a professional dancer based in Chesterfield. I am now also teaching Commercial classes at Excel Dance and loving it. I love working on technique and performance with students and making the sessions fun!

I graduated with a distinction in musical theatre, since graduating I have performed all over the world. This has given me the opportunity to meet lots of amazing dancers and choreographers along the way. I get such a buzz performing on stage and love the fact that I also get to teach others what i have learnt.

I have danced and taught students all over the UK and the world, recently returning from performing in Malaysia. I also love to choreograph, and often choreograph for professional and amateur events. I am trained in many styles to a very high standard, and I graduated from SLP musical theatre college with a Distinction.
