Teachers

In 2018 I was fortunate to take over Lordswood Dancentre from its former owner Frances. I started dancing with Lordswood Dancentre at the age of 5 when my parents decided I was too hyperactive! I have worked through all her examinations completing my bbodance Advanced Ballet in 2016, as well as the bbodance Intermediate Tap and ISTD Intermediate Modern.

I obtained my Level 6 Diploma in Dance Teaching  via bbodance and am a bbodance Registered Teacher and certified Acrobatic Arts Teacher. I am also qualified with SEND students.  

I am a certified pointe shoes fitter and have a Level 3 certificate in Diet and Nutrition and a Level 3 certificate in Personal Training. 

I have been lucky to dance at the Rambert School of Ballet in London and the Northern Contemporary Dance School in Leeds and has also danced with Wayne Sleep.

My passion for dance is clear as well as all things fitness.  I have completed a triathlon, climbed Snowdon and completed 6 half marathons, plus walked 1 full marathon. Plus I continually love to learn, from diet and nutrition to obtaining a qualification as legal secretary!

I’m Holly, I’ve been dancing since I was 10. I started with Maypole and Morris Dancing before joining a local dance studio. I loved growing up there and was lucky enough to take part in IDTA exams in different genres and perform in various productions.

I’ve always loved having dancing as my outlet. After attending sports college for 2years, I went on to train at Starquest Performers College for 3 years where I gained my Level 4 Modern Jazz Teaching qualification and Musical Theatre Diploma. I’ve had the opportunity to play roles in local pantos, been a dancer and head girl in touring productions of AIDA Opera and had the opportunity to perform and head girl various cabaret shows. Alongside gaining my Associate & Licentiates in Freestyle and also Street Dance all with distinctions.

I’ve been teaching for over 12 years at local dance schools and offering after schools clubs at a local pre-school and primary school. As much as I enjoy performing, teaching is where my heart is. I’m also a very keen runner and love taking part in charity runs and challenges.

Although now as a mum of two, I spend most days running around the park or soft play.

I'm Karyna, I am a graduate from Performers College, one of the UK’s top specialist dance and musical theatre colleges. Where I obtained a BA(Hons) in Musical Theatre and Dance. 

I have teaching experience in a variety of genres and ages from 6months right up to adult classes! As well as teaching, I am a professional performer,  including dancing at the EUROS 2020 Closing Ceremony at Wembley and performing aboard MSC Cruises as a production dancer as well as various other theatre productions and projects. 

I am  eager to pass  knowledge and passion for dance and performing arts onto the students at Lordswood Dancentre!

I’m Daisy and I’ve just graduated from Performers College in Essex, where I made amazing memories and had some fabulous experiences working with creatives from the industry daily. The skills I learnt at college I am very passionate to pass on. I have been assisting dance classes since I was 14 and taught my first class at 16 and have continued to teach from then. I want to create a fun environment that pushes students to achieve there best and most importantly to believe in themselves.

I started dancing at 2years old and can truly say there is nothing I love more. I’ve trained in tap, ballet, modern, jazz, street, commercial, pointe, musical theatre and contemporary. My favourite styles are jazz and commercial.

Besides dancing, singing and acting, I love going on holiday, seeing new places and exploring!

I’m eager to learn and bring the best out of everyone!
