Teachers

CARRIE-ANNE INGROUILLE

Carrie-Anne is an integral part of ZooNation and frequently represents the company as both a performer and choreographer.

She has taught at ZAD and worked with the youth companies since 2008.  Her strong and no nonsense approach continues to motivate, challenge and inspire students across the country.

With a wealth of teaching experience in the UK and Europe and performance and choreography experience that includes Into the Hoods and Blaze, Carrie truly is at the top of her game. 

Carrie is also one of the choreographers, alongside Kate Prince, for ZooNation’s new show, Some Like it Hip Hop. 

JEFFREY FELICISIMO

As one of the founding members of Hip Hop crew Animaineax, Jeffrey’s style and work needs no introduction.

Jeffrey has worked with ZooNation since 2004 and helped devise and create the role of Giant in Into the Hoods.  As well as this Jeffrey continues to represent the company as both a performer and teacher across the UK.

With his finger very much on the pulse, Jeffrey’s routines are always full of soul and tend to lend themselves to the ‘nu skool’ era of Hip Hop.  However, with a wide knowledge of Hip Hop styles Jeffrey can also teach breaking, locking and popping.

His larger than life character and current routines always make him one of the favourites with the students.

His other credits include Boy Blue’s Pied Piper and dancing for Cheryl Cole, and N Dubz.

Andry (aka Dre) is an integral part of the school and has taught at ZAD since it’s opening in 2008.

With a wealth of performance and teaching experience under his belt, Dre creates a very professional but relaxed environment within his classes, which in turn brings out the best in each student.

His professional credits include Beyonce, Kelly Rowlands, Rihanna, Cheryl Cole, Amerie, Lemar as well as playing the role of Wolf in Into the Hoods.  He has also joined the Company in its new production, Some Like it Hip Hop.

Dre has also taught workshops throughout the UK and Europe.
