Adam Miller grew up with performance in his blood and first trod the boards at a school production at Newcastle City Hall at the age of 10 before skating took over his life at the age of 12.

The 21-year-old started taking lessons at Whitley Bay Ice Rink with the aim of working for Disney on Ice.

Despite being diagnosed with Dyscalculia, a form of numeric dyslexia which makes it difficult to keep track of numbers or perform simple calculations, Adam learned to adapt to instructions involving counting including essential timings for dance steps and turns.

Adam represented Whitley Bay Ice Rink in a national competition and his skills were identified by Dancing on Ice coach Mark Hanretty who trained him in Sheffield.

He spent three years being coached by top Olympic coaches and high-profile chorographers who worked on Dancing on Ice, The X Factor and Strictly Come Dancing.

In 2018, Adam got his big break when after a successful audition he joined the Disney on Ice team touring Europe, Brazil and even a home appearance at Newcastle Arena.

Adam said: “I couldn’t believe that I, a lad from Northumberland, was standing in front of thousands of people performing with one of the most iconic companies in the world, I realised I had achieved my dream.”

His career has been put on hold due to Covid-19 which saw all Disney shows cancelled but now Adam has set up his own entertainment consultancy – Golden Camera Company – to help guide and support people going into the professional entertainment sector.

Adam said: “I’m passing on skills such as media training, corporate skills, audition etiquette as well as portfolio creation, video making and social skills. I’m leaving the technical skills to performance coaches as they have very specialist knowledge.

“I help people deal with rejection and teach them about the benefits of failure. I’m relatively young but I’ve had the best training and if my experiences help someone on their way to stardom I’ll be very happy.”
