Alumni Success - Storm Padgham

Article Thumbnail Image

Please join us in congratulating Sheldon alum, Storm Padgham, for securing her first professional dance job at Disneyland Paris! Storm will be making her Disney debut next month as a parade dancer and main character. We can't share which character (as that would spoil the Disney magic) but if you happen to be in the Magic Kingdom, look out for a familiar face!

Storm was a student at Sheldon and Sheldon Sixth Form from 2017-2024, studying dance through A Levels. If you were in the audience for our Step Into It 2024 show, you may recall her stunning solo performance, Free Falling. After leaving Sheldon Sixth Form, Storm went on to further her dance education at Bath Dance College. With only a few months left on her course, she attended a Disney open audition and was quickly cast as a main character. She is now moving to Paris to continue her dance journey from our School Hall to the City of Lights! We are incredibly proud of Storm and wish her the best of luck in her new role and new career. 

Don't miss Step Into It 2026 on 15 & 16 April where you can watch performances from Sheldon dancers hoping to follow in Storm's graceful footsteps! Tickets for Step Into It 2026 are not available on ParentPay.

Looking back with hindsight and at the overall picture, I absolutely loved my time at Sheldon.
