Nadine started dancing when she was just two and then started singing and drama classes when she was five. While performing has always been a great love she always knew she wanted to become a teacher. 

After finishing high school she moved to London to study Performing Arts at Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts and was one of thirteen pupils on her course. For her final three years of studying Nadine attended Phil Winston’s Theatreworks where she gained Distinction in her Level 4 teaching exam and graduated in 2018. 

Nadine is currently working her way through her IDTA exams in the hope to one day become an examiner! She is also on the IDTA Scotland Theatre Branch Comittee and can't wait to help grow the IDTA in Scotland!

In 2023, Nadine trained with Showtime Circus to be able to deliver cirus and aerial classes all over Scotland!

Nadine can’t wait to keep growing Alba and hopes that we can get even more kids and adults into class!

Miss Laura has been working at Alba since 2020 and the kids absolutely love her! After completing her training at Phil Winston's Theatrworks she went off to work all over the world as a dancer on cruise ships and with her wealth of knowledge we are so lucky to have her. 

Laura is also a qualified circus and aerial teacher with Showtime Circus and will be teaching with Miss Nadine all over Scotland! 

Aaron trained with Miss Nadine when they were kids at a local theatre school and this is where his love of the arts grew! To further his training he went to Dance School of Scotland and then trained at Arts Educational in London.

Since Alba opened Aaron has been teaching classes and workshops and has recently taken over our Musical Theatre classes in Tillicoultry on Fridays.

Miss Lucy has danced at Alba for the last 4 years and we couldn't be happier to have her teaching for us after summer! Since 2019 Lucy has assisted in our Mini Dance, Acro and Ceilidh Fusion classes, covered multiple classes for Miss Nadine and helped Miss Nadine with her training by being a demonstrator in her exams.

Lucy has always worked hard in every class, gaining amazing exam results and most recently taking her Level 3 Diploma in dance teaching through the IDTA.

Miss Lucy teaches our Saturday classes in Tillicoultry and our wee ones love having her as their teacher!

Nicole is one of the most important members of our team and a lot of what we do couldn't happen without her. Nicole is always there when we need her to be, whether that be on trips, at shows or in rehearsals.

Nicole started off as one of our adult tappers and soon started attending our trips to Can You Dance and different shows we went to see. When we needed another team leader for our Disney trip it was a no brainer that it would be Nicole.

Now Nicole is backstage at every show and constantly supports our dancers, she really is one of their biggest cheerleaders!
