Lucy

Junior & Infants Dance Coach (SLP)

I began my training at the age of 3 starting with ballet and tap before progressing into a wide range of dance styles at Aspire Dance and Stage. It was there that I also began training in acting and singing, which sparked my passion for performing arts. At 16, I moved to Leeds to begin professional dance training at SLP College, where I have been fortunate to gain experience working in television on Hollyoaks, perform in my first music video, and take on a lead role in a semi-professional theatre production.
 
I am so excited to be a part of the interact family and hope to share my passion, energy and love for performing with the students
