Miss Justine Principal

I began dancing aged three at the Bristol School of Dancing and appeared regularly in pantomimes & shows at the Bristol Hippodrome. After leaving school I trained at Laine Theatre Arts studying dance/drama & teaching. My first work was in Japan and I continued dancing in shows abroad and in the UK for five years, combining this with teaching in Bristol. I was also a supporting artist in film and TV and in 2003 worked on the film Vanity Fair as a double for Reese Witherspoon. Before taking over at Stockwood in 1998, I free-lanced at various dance schools in the Bristol area, UK. After moving to Spain in 2001, I opened a dance school in Sitges. In October 2014 I started teaching Tap at the new university: IAB – Institute of Arts Barcelona.
