Miss Lauren Thorpe

Pre-Associate Ballet 1 (92 Honours)

Pre-Associate Ballet 2 (91 Honours)

'Miss Lauren'  joined Daniels Dancing Academy at the age of 5.

After 13 years she had completed her Ballet and Tap grades, gained medals in Theatre-craft , Ballet, Tap and Freestyle and taken major roles in the Academy's shows including the ill-fated Duck in 'Peter and the Wolf'.

Lauren also appeared in 'Dick Whittington' and ‘Jack and the Beanstalk' and was a senior dancer in 'Babes in the Wood', ‘Sleeping Beauty’ and ‘West Side Story’ at the College Theatre in Coventry.

In 2005 Lauren graduated from the University of Leeds with a degree in Arts Management. Since then she has worked as a school administrator at Rugby School. She now works as an administrator at the Royal Shakespeare Company and lives with her partner in Kenilworth.

Lauren is very pleased to be returning to her first love of dance. She has now passed her Intermediate Ballet Performers Award and Pre-Associate 1 Ballet exams. As my student Ballet teacher she has coached children for recent exams and they have all gained excellent results under her care.

In her spare time she plays and coaches cricket at Kenilworth Wardens Cricket Club with her partner Anthony and both of them have started to learn Salsa with me!

I am particulary proud that next year I will be arranging a Wedding dance for Miss Lauren & her husband to be!
