Guest Teacher Spotlight – Christian Knight

At EDGE, we bring in the best. Our guest teachers aren’t just instructors—they’re working industry professionals, shaping the future of theatre, commercial dance, and beyond. This month, we’re shining the spotlight on Christian Knight, a powerhouse performer and Dance Captain on the West End production of Hamilton.

From the West End to major film and TV productions, Christian has built a career working alongside some of the biggest names in the industry. His experience in musicals, choreography, and movement direction makes him a perfect fit for EDGE, where he pushes dancers to refine their craft, sharpen their skills, and train at a professional level.

From Training to the West End

Christian’s journey began at Addict Dance Academy and Dupont Dance, where he laid the foundation for a career that would take him to some of the most prestigious stages in the UK.
