She was also involved in many Cheerleading competitions UKCA and Future Cheer, representing my squad and also the UK in dance teams.

These opportunities have given Reema a great experience and passion for performance, something she’s very keen to share with the students at First Stage. Her enthusiasm for Dance lead her to study Performing Arts and Dance at college, then to the University of Derby where Reema graduated with a BA Honours in Dance. This lead Reema to complete her Teacher training (PGCE) and she became a qualified Dance Teacher at a Performing Arts specialist school in Nottingham teaching all Key stages including GCSE and Advanced Level Dance. Reema came to First stage firstly as a student over 12 years ago. Again, studying all disciplines to Advanced 2 level and performing in many shows and festivals.
