MISS LAUREN
Principal
'I started dancing when I was just 3 years old and have never stopped, I grew such passion and love for it. From my training in Colchester where I worked through my ISTD dance exams, I knew I wanted to pursue a career in teaching and passing on my passion for dance to others.
I successfully auditioned for The Dance College and started my three year full time teacher training course. I finished college with Advanced 2 Tap, Advanced 2 Modern, Intermediate Ballet and Intermediate National and also my DDE teaching qualifications in Ballet, Modern Theatre and Tap.
Whilst at dance college, I started teaching at various dance schools to build my experience and knowledge. Having had lots of success as a teacher at other schools with high exam results for students, and many successfully auditioning for London Dance colleges such as Sylvia Youngs Theatre School. It has been such a privilege to get to see my students performing in West End shows such as Billy Elliot and English Youth Ballet Company.
I started LL Dance & Fitness in 2016 with only a PreSchool and FitSteps class.'

MISS BETH
Dance Teacher
Beth is super excited to be joining the team at LL dance. Dancing since the age of 3, she’s grown up knowing nothing but being in a studio. Beth went onto train at Tiffany Theatre College where she graduated with distinction and her DDE in tap and modern with plans to continue this qualification to a higher level. While undergoing her teaching qualification she discovered that inspiring the next generation meant more to her than being on the stage herself and is loving the start of this career.
