---

Owen trained for 12 years at Warriorz Studio, where he also assisted with classes, before gaining his ISTD Associate and a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Performing Arts.

He joined Tenacity in 2020, starting with the Ferocity crew. Under his leadership, Ferocity earned Tenacity’s very first 1st place trophy at XDC in 2021. Since then, Owen has gone on to teach six competitive crews, all of which have competed at major competitions including BDO, UDO, XDC, and most recently the GDO World Championships.

Beyond Tenacity, a personal career highlight for Owen was headlining the Move It Main Stage with Bismark Anobah in 2024.

Owen’s main goal at Tenacity is to continually push his students to grow, improve, and pursue pathways where they can see dance not only as a passion but also as a career.

Abi began her dance journey with Tenacity at the age of six and has since performed in numerous showcases, including the annual school productions, the Ampthill Gala, and events at the Grove Theatre. In 2019, she began competing, which deepened her passion for dance even further.

At 15, Abi started assisting classes at Tenacity, sparking her interest in teaching. She went on to complete a Level 4 Diploma in Dance Teaching with the IDTA through Dance College London, receiving training in Hip-Hop, Commercial, Contemporary, and Jazz.

Since qualifying, Abi has taken on a range of teaching responsibilities at Tenacity, including one of our competition teams, Mini Dynamite.

Abi is committed to helping students grow not only as dancers but as individuals. Her goal is to create a supportive, inclusive environment where every student can learn, have fun, and feel truly part of the Tenacity family.

BIO COMING SOON

I'm Millie and I teach lyrical on Tuesdays for Tenacity. I’ve been dancing for over 15 years, and my love for teaching started when helping out with classes when I was 15. I have been teaching now for the past 8 years. I’ve trained in lots of styles, but my favourites have always been commercial, jazz, and lyrical. Performing every year with my dance school, and exploring singing, dancing, and acting during my Level 3 Diploma in Performing Arts, really shaped how I love to teach.

I’ve been part of the Tenacity family for 3 years now and dabbled in a few different styles to now teaching lyrical on Tuesdays. I feel so lucky to work in such a warm, welcoming school. The community here is unlike any other, and it’s a place that constantly reminds me why I love what I do.
