Qualified Teachers
Fiona Campbell
Licentiate UKA Ltd.
Miss Campbell also joined the dance school over 20 years ago at the East Calder dance class. She is now one of the higher
qualified teaching members assisting whenever we ask - a true godsend knowing pupils are being taught by someone who knows
how we operate, the high standard that we expect and is popular with both pupils and parents alike! She also teaches one evening
after work at a local sports centre where her informal dance class is proving popular with the children. In addition
to all of this, she has recently taken on the role of Senior Squad leader with the Scottish Starlets Cheerleaders.
Claire Robertson
Associate UKA Ltd.
Miss Robertson has been a member of the Myra Mackie School of Dance for 19 years! She is also a qualified dance teacher and
after graduating from Edinburgh University, is at the moment, enjoying her 'gap' year by touring Australia, New Zealand, Fiji
and beyond! Miss Robertson keeps in touch and sends Mrs Mackie a copy of her travel diary on a regular basis. We wish her
a safe return and look forward to seeing her again later in the year.

Laura has been dancing with the dance school for over 18 years. She is currently also studying dance at Edinburgh's

Miss Hollie
Pre-school trainer with Mrs Mackie at Pumpherston and also trains with Mrs Douglas at the Broxburn classes.
Hollie has been with the dance school since a very young age and is now very high up in the examination award system.
It will not be long before she will commence working towards the Provisional Member semi-professional level.
A popular
pupil wherever she appears - but also a previous Drama Queen of the Month!
