Felicity Halfpenny is a Choreographer, Fitness Instructor and Personal Trainer who loves to combine her passions for fitness, musical theatre and teaching into one.

Unfortunately when Felicity was 21, she suffered an injury and her sternum and ribcage were separated. Felicity has worked over the past decade to heal the injury and understand the body in more depth by qualifying as a massage therapist whilst working as a Health Mentor, Personal Trainer and class fitness instructor. Felicity looks forward to being able to follow her passions of dance and fitness again and bring the joy of Musical Theatre Fitness to the world!

Felicity trained as a dancer from a young age and was always involved in shows and singing wherever possible. She continued to develop her dance and vocal talent through studying at the Urdang Academy in London on their Musical Theatre program. From there, Felicity trained as a group exercise instructor and gained her qualification as a Master Level 1 Personal Trainer from the Australian Institute of Fitness, before venturing to work on a Cruise Line, teaching Ashtanga Yoga, Pilates, Spin, 1-1 training and group sessions. Felicity recently qualified in supporting Pre & Post Natal clients with with exercise and nutrition and is currently studying her Level 2 Children's Fitness qualification to be able to bring MTF to ages 5-15.

Felicity has had a love of musicals since her mum took her to watch Fame on the West End when she was 13. The magic of the show and the sheer talent of the performers blew her away! Ever since that moment, Felicity has always loved the joy that theatre brings and the important messages it conveys. She continues to work in theatre and enjoys everything that the arts offer!

 

She wanted to combine her experience in fitness and dance with the love of musicals, and of course Disney, and from that, 'Musical Theatre Fitness' was born. Felicity truly believes that within the four class program, there is a class for everyone and all abilities. Work It Out, Tone It Out and Stretch It Out focus on developing general fitness, conditioning and flexibility whilst Dance It Out offers the chance for anyone, no matter their dance ability, to enjoy dancing!

Felicity has choreographed for a number of shows including, Grease (Churchill Theatre, Edinburgh), Legally Blonde (Churchill Theatre), Kinky Boots (Edinburgh Fringe Festival), The Wedding Singer (Kings Theatre, Edinburgh), Made in Dagenham (Churchill Theatre), Rock of Ages (Churchill Theatre), Popstars: The 90’s Musical (Churchill Theatre), Jekyll & Hyde (Churchill Theatre), The Addams Family (Edinburgh Fringe Festival) and You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown (Edinburgh Fringe Festival). She has also performed on stage as Margot in ‘Legally Blonde’ (Kings Theatre), Kathy in ‘9 to 5’ (Kings Theatre), Ariel in ‘Footloose’ (Kings Theatre), Mayor Matilda Hyde in 'All Shook Up' (Churchill Theatre), and as Joanne in RENT (Edinburgh Fringe Festival). She has recently been cast as The Witch in Into the Woods and will be performing this with BARE Productions in Edinburgh Fringe 2024.
