CHARLOTTE NICHOLS
A.I.S.T.D (Dip) and member of NCDTA
I started my dance training at the age of 2 following my 3 older sisters to dance classes. I trained for 10 years part time at Doreen Bird College, and then won a scholarship from ILEA to attend Laine Theatre Arts in Epsom. Whilst there I gained my teaching qualifications in ballet, modern, tap and national and then a year after leaving gained my tap diploma. I opened pointers dance studio in 1994 and am very proud of all the children that have come through the school. Choreography has always been a big love of mine and I love seeing the children produce the finish article. We now do festivals in a big way and it’s great to see the children progress in them each year. It’s great to see their confidence grow with each performance.

Whilst at university studying for a degree in Computer science and software engineering, I enrolled in a sports coach development program to backup my love of sport. From there I was given the opportunity to start coaching gymnastics. Now with over 18 years of coaching experience at both artistic competitive clubs and dance schools I teach gymnastic floor work and recreational gymnastics at Pointers.
In my day job I work in publishing in the Pro Audio Visual sector and have a strong background in theatrical sound, lighting and photography.
