Who is your Academy Leader?

Meet Laura

I started dancing when I was just two years old and was on the stage by the time I was five. I knew very early on that all I wanted to do was dance. And by the time I was eight years old I was already being professionally trained at The Royal Ballet School in their Junior Associates. I always got the highest marks in all my dance exams, receiving full marks in six of my exams and never getting below 95 out of 100.

Then secondary school started and my training took a huge leap. I was training everyday afterschool and all weekend. Balancing school and dance, I was determined to succeed in both. I successfully auditioned for the English National Ballet School’s youth company and TringPark Classical Ballet Academy, at this time I was professionally training with three major ballet schools. Along came my GCSE’S and I took all academic subjects, I always kept school and dance separately. And obtained A’s and A*s in all my subjects.

Alevels rolled round and I decided to leave The Royal Ballet and TringPark and focus on my contemporary training with English National Ballet. Alongside this I also started assisting at my local dance school and developed my love for teaching and very quickly began taking my own classes in jazz, ballet and musical theatre.

After alevels I began auditioning at musical theatre colleges and gained scholarships at every place I auditioned. I ended up training at my dream school Laine Theatre Arts where I gained a full scholarship on the day of the audition. Here I spent three years specialising in professional dance studies and gained a level 6 diploma in professional dance with a distinction. My education didn’t stop here though and I decided to do a degree in professional dance and received a first class degree. Now a lot of people would stop here but I am currently studying for my masters in professional dance skill. 

Within this time period I had countless performing experiences at world renowned venues such at MOVE IT, The Royal Albert Hall and Sadler Wells. I have also been on audition panels during college auditions so know exactly what the panel are looking for. While I may no longer perform any more I now teach full time at some of the top schools in the country, and am constantly keeping up to date with the ever evolving dance industry. I’m also a fully qualified level 3 personal trainer so understand how to keep the body in the best condition to sustain your career.

My classes are always a safe space and you will be as pushed as much as you need to be the best version of yourself both physically and mentally and I can promise you, you will leave my classes feeling 100% times better than when you walked in. I will offer you insights into the audition room so you walk in there confident and ready for anything that they could possibly throw at you.

Join us to CHANGE your audition approach and become part of a family that champions each dancer's success.
