About Us
Elms Creatives was founded by husband-and-wife team Josh and Erin Elms with one simple goal: to create a place where every child can grow in confidence, express themselves creatively and develop a lifelong love for the performing arts.
As professional performers and experienced teachers, we believe the skills gained through singing, dancing and acting go far beyond the stage. Our classes inspire creativity, build confidence and help every student feel supported, challenged and celebrated, whatever their experience or ambitions.
Josh studied Music at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA) and has been teaching piano for over five years alongside a successful career as a professional pianist. Erin graduated with a degree in Musical Theatre from The Hammond and has spent the past five years teaching performing arts, helping young people develop both their performance skills and self-confidence. Together, we combine industry experience with a genuine passion for nurturing the next generation of performers.
