About Starbrite Dancentre

We’re passionate about dance

Miss Emma started her dance training from the age of 4 and soon became hooked going from attending classes once a week to 5 days a week competing in dance festivals and performing in local annual productions to then being awarded theatre nominations in both Tap and Modern-Jazz before going on to dance professionally in Cabarets and Musical Theatre.

Miss Emma’s true passion though is in teaching and choreography and with already 14 years of teaching experience has seen pupils of past and present achieve their true potential in productions such as Bugsy Malone, Fame, The Railway children and the popular York Theatre Royal pantomime productions. Many pupils have been selected to attend junior associate schemes at some of the top dance colleges in the UK who are now pursuing a career in the industry.

Principal and owner Miss Emma Bailey-Hague first opened Starbrite Dancentre in Poppleton offering a range of classes in dance and theatre, a year later after a good strong start Starbrite then opened its doors in Market Weighton.

Miss Emma’s ethos was to set up an exciting theatre school providing the very best learning opportunities for pupils young or old interested in performing, building up confidence and social skills for future development but most importantly having lots of fun along their journey.
