Jade Edwards-Bytom

Founder & Teacher

After receiving a scholarship award for her BA (Hons) Performing Arts: Contemporary Dance degree studied at The University of Brighton, Jade returned to Buckingham to build UP! Dance Collaborations.

Alongside confidence building, teamwork and performance skills, Jade's passions lie within the creative processes and choreography in Contemporary dance. She believes in developing the dancers own styles and personalities, allowing them to flourish by giving encouragement, constructive feedback and providing a safe environment for expression.

Blossom Schneid

Teaching Assistant

As one of the very first recruits in the Contemporary 8-10s group, Blossom knows UP! Dance through and through. An incredibly talented dancer and performer, Jade immediately saw great potential in Blossom.

For around 3 years Blossom has been our 5-7s dance teaching assistant alongside Jade, as well as a student in the Contemporary Dance class for ages 14-18. She is there to guide and support the children throughout class and give her creative assistance wherever needed.

Blossom is dedicated, kind and brilliantly talented as a dancer and teaching assistant. We are very excited to see what her future holds within our company.
