Hello and Welcome to Distinction Dance Company!  My name is Charlotte Webster I am the founder and Dance Instructor of Distinction Dance Company (DDC). DDC was founded in 2009 specialising in Street Dance. From small beginnings we have now grown and developed to provide several Street Dance Groups of different ages. In addition we now teach Cheerleading (which includes a Pom group for our younger members). For those with the aptitude we have a competition Cheerleading group. In keeping with our diversity of dance, we also have Belly Dancing class for all ages and abilities.

My dancing experience started at three years old, when I began to learn Ballet, Tap and Modern. By the time I was eight, I had progressed into Ballroom, Latin, Disco, Rock'n'Roll and Street. I have competed regularly at the Tower of Ballroom in Blackpool, in addition to gaining exams through I.S.T.D and R.A.D. In my last exam I achieved 99 out of a maximum attainable 100 points. I continued my studies at Poole College obtaining a BTEC National Diploma in Dance achieving a Distinction. I attended Chichester University graduating with a BA Hons Dance Degree. I addition to my degree, I have passed examinations in Cheerleading Coaching, through Future Cheer at IASF levels 1 and 2. Part of my current work involves me teaching musical theatre for Stagecoach. University also gave me the opportunity to establish a cheerleading group called the Chi Cheetahs.

In my second year with the Chi Cheetahs I became their choreographer. In 2007 I instructed a team at Manhood Community College, Portsmouth. The college had been entered into Rock Challenge, a national competition. My role with the college was to choreograph and teach their routine. The regional competition was held at Portsmouth's Guildhall and the college attained 3rd place. Manhood College had entered the competition previously however, this was the first year they had achieved a placing.

I have also performed for Warner Holidays as a member their dance team in their Isle of Wight Hotel. Having fulfilled one of my ambitions to dance on the professional stage, I returned to teaching in Dorchester and Poole. I hope you enjoy our website, come meet us soon!
