Huge Congratulations Elyse Russell we’re so proud of all you’ve achieved! 👏
Meet Ms Elyse, our High School Dance Teacher, whose love of dance, performance, and creativity inspires students both in and out of the studio.
Ms Elyse holds a BA (Hons) in Dance Performance, Choreography & Teaching from Preston College Dance and brings international teaching experience from Nord Anglia Education in Hanoi. She has taught dance in both primary and secondary schools and previously worked with a range of musical theatre schools in Manchester, helping young performers build confidence, technique, and artistic expression.
This year, Ms Elyse is excited to work towards achieving Accomplished Juilliard Teacher recognition through the school's collaboration with The Juilliard School. Her passion for dance and theatre is matched by her commitment to creating a positive learning environment where students feel supported to challenge themselves and reach their potential.
When she's not teaching, Ms Elyse enjoys Pilates, attending theatre performances, and catching up with friends over coffee. Known for being kind and approachable while maintaining high expectations, she helps students thrive through consistency, encouragement, and care.
Welcome to St Andrews Bangkok, Ms Elyse!
