CRAIG HOPKINS /
PRINCIPAL

Craig began dancing at the age of 10 after seeing his older cousin compete in a local dance training session. He caught the dancing bug and was soon entering competitions!
Craig had an amazing freestyle career and retired at the age of 21 after winning prestigious titles all over the UK and Ireland. These included: London Championships, Edinburgh & Glasgow Championships, Diva, Euro Dance and Icon. His dream finally came true when he was crowned Disco King in 2015 at which he wore his last sponsored costume from the top freestyle designer, Stoned Boutique after many years of being dressed by the company.
Craig also studied at The Urdang Academy, one of the top musical theatre colleges in London. He received a sponsored scholarship studying, jazz, ballet, commercial, hip hop, acting and singing. After graduating in 2016, Craig went on to teach freestyle for dance schools in various different countries. Craig became a fully qualified dance teacher with the ADFP in 2018.
His first professional job was dancing in Sleeping Beauty alongside comedian and actor Warwick Davis in Woking. Craig then completed two contracts as a dancer with Celebrity Cruises, enabling him to perform whilst travelling the world.
It has always been Craig's dream to teach and pass on his passion for dance to others.
