Meet Alison!
Principal & Tutor
Alison began her passion for musical theatre at the age of 4, studying at the Langley Dance Academy in Blackpool, progressing her training on to Phil Winstons Theatre Works training in professional dance and musical theatre. Outside of Little Voices, Alison’s favourite place to be is on the stage or back stage in the wings watching her own daughter perform. Performing has always been Alison’s “bread and butter”, and Alison is absolutely thrilled to welcome the families of Cheshire & Manchester into our Little Voices world.
“Every child deserves a nurturing helping hand towards reaching their full potential, whilst also having lots of fun in an environment tailored for each individual child. Little Voices delivers just that. As a teacher, there really is nothing better than watching the children’s confidence grow week on week, while not only enhancing their performance skills but also life skills that will continue on with them whichever path they take. I am truly excited to lead an organisation that places children and their grown-ups, at the very core of everything we do. You will not regret the time your child invests with Little Voices Central & South Manchester.”
