A heartfelt welcome to Janet Bosson, who has recently taken on the significant role of Trustee at Surface Area Dance Theatre!

Janet rests against a barrier on a seaside promenade that separates the sea and beach from the walkway. She has crossed her legs at the ankles, and it’s the end of a summer day with a blue sky above. Playfully, Janet holds the setting sun in her right hand, looking at it curiously. Behind her are the sky, sea, and beach, while the sun balances perfectly in the centre of her upturned palm.

Janet brings with her an impressive wealth of experience, boasting over thirty years in dance instruction and a remarkable journey that began fifty-five years ago when she first laced up her dance shoes. Her profound dedication to the art of dance and her commitment to nurturing talent spans across various levels and styles, making her an invaluable asset to the dance community.

– **Fellow of the UKAPTD:** Her fellowship with the United Kingdom Alliance of Professional Teachers of Dance underscores her credibility and professional standing in the field.

– **Fellow of the IDTA:** As a Fellow of the International Dance Teachers Association, Janet demonstrates her proficiency in dance education and her dedication to teaching.

– **Trustee at Surface Area Dance Theatre:** In her role as Trustee, Janet plays a vital role in shaping the company’s vision and direction, ensuring it continues to thrive and inspire.

Janet’s deep-rooted connection to dance stems from her familial background. Growing up in a dance-oriented family, where both of her parents were celebrated formation dancers and competitors during the 1960s, has given her unique insights and experiences that enrich her teaching. Her family’s legacy continues to inspire her, and she remains actively engaged with the vibrant Liverpool dance scene.

With an unwavering commitment to excellence, Janet adopts a personalised teaching approach that is evident in her extensive experience. For 15 years, she has had the privilege of working alongside Eric Lashbrook, a former world European and British champion, learning from his expertise and bringing that knowledge into her own practice. Janet is devoted to creating an inclusive and supportive environment for all her students, ensuring that each dancer not only acquires technical skills but also flourishes as an individual. She is passionate about fostering confidence and artistry, enabling her students to realise their full potential in dance.
