DANCE SCHOOL IN BUDE

Wesley Wairing, Dance instructor

I trained with Pamela De Waal in Paignton, an inspirational lady who not

only was a massive influence in my life but enriched it by opening up so

many opportunities such as dancing with the Moscow City Ballet, the

English National and Vienna Ballet Company. After receiving a full

scholarship, I went onto train at Laine Theatre Arts in Surrey when I was

16. It was there I gained my Musical Theatre Diploma.

After graduating, my first contract was with the Stadium Theatre Company

for P&O Cruises, Oceania and 12 years later prior to me returning to

Devon I once again returned to P&O on the Ventura, Arcadia and Azura

but this time working with the Headliners Theatre Company.

I have been fortunate to have worked as a dancer in nearly all genres of

dance, in London’s West End ‘We Will Rock You’. Additionally to working

on cruise ships I have toured China with Spirit Productions in "Red Hot

Broadway" and South Africa with the "Essence of Ireland" where we

played at the Nelson Mandela Theatre. With both companies I have

toured the length and breadth of the UK too. Television appearances

include; The Bill, Bad Girls, The Dream Team and Miss Marple and

modelling opportunities included working for Calvin Klein, D&G, Hugo

Boss, Quicksilver and Marks & Spencer.

Some of the performers I have been lucky enough to share a stage with

include, Ruthie Henshall, Kerry Ellis, Warren Carlisle and Matt Flint at the

Aldwych Theatre in London's West End. Pop stars such as Blue, Rachel

Stevens, Sugababes and Kylie Minogue. More recently I have worked

with the stars of Strictly Come Dancing including Craig Revel Horwood,

Kevin & Karen Clifton, Kevin's sister Joanna Clifton, Giovanni Pernice and

Georgia May Foote.
