OUR DIRECTOR

LAURA-JANE APPLETON 

Hi there, I'm Laura-Jane, and my journey in dance began at the tender age of 3. Over the years, I've immersed myself in various dance forms, from Ballet to Street Jazz and even Cheerleading. As a certified IDTA and UKDDF Dance teacher, alongside being an NCSSE Cheerleading Coach, I bring over a decade of teaching experience to Studio 86.

 

Beyond the dance floor, I hold a BEd in Primary Education, underscoring my commitment to making dance both enjoyable and challenging for all ages. My goal is to ensure every child's individual needs and abilities are met, fostering a love for dance that lasts a lifetime.
