We had a lovely afternoon/evening at our exam session held at our studio on Saturday 20th June. Our examiner was very happy and said the dancers were all very well prepared, from the youngest at just age 4 to the eldest at 19.
Well done and congratulations to everyone who danced for your hard work and dedication. Now to wait for the results. A very proud teacher. ###

It was a wonderful day yesterday celebrating 90 fantastic year's of The Association of American Dancing. All our dancers had such a great experience performing in the Gala Production routines at Blackpool Opera House. They have all worked so hard over the last couple of months preparing for this spectacular event. Its such a pleasure to teach these young people and they make me burst with pride.
Now the Gala is over we start our rehearsals for our performance at Alton Towers. We like to keep our dancers on their toes and doing what they all love doing. 💙🩵💙🩵

At The Loughborough Academy of Dance we dont have to bring in outside teachers. Why not, I hear you ask? Because we train our own dancers to be Teachers of the future. It takes years to reach the level of Teacher but when our students have so much knowledge from their studies and exams you know they are going to be the best teachers. We have a wealth of knowledge in different Dance styles. The LAD have been in Loughborough since 1978. We now have 6 qualified teachers and 5 Student Teachers. We have a great Reception Team that will help you when you attend for your first steps in the dance world. Your child is in safe hands when they come to our classes. Please dont hesitate to get in touch to start your little ones dance journey. www.thelad.co.uk [email protected]
Hope to see you soon.

Well done to these hard working, dedicated young people. All ready for the AAD Gala Spectacular at Blackpool Opera House...

Well done to these hard working, dedicated young people. All ready for the AAD Gala Spectacular at Blackpool Opera House on Sunday 26th April. They all passed an audition to dance in this fantastic show. It has been a pleasure to teach them over the last couple of months and I can't wait to see them perform later this month. Keep smiling and have the best time in Blackpool. A very proud teacher. X###
