ashleigh's dance academy
At the age of three I put on my first dance shoes and no one has been able to
get me out of them since! From festivals, competitions, shows, pantomimes, and
exams I couldn't get enough. I knew from a young age I wanted to share my
passion with the world and therefore was determined to educate myself on how to
teach performing arts. There has been much research on the positive effects of
music for our health and happiness BBC News reported on research from a
University in Montreal Canada (Nature Neuroscience study) 'An experiment by a
primary school in England has revealed that music can also help in improving
academic performance among pupils. New Delhi: It is no secret that music has
therapeutic effect and can help students in combatting stress. Studies have also
revealed that music helps in improving concentration.' After successfully
completing a PGDE Teaching Qualification in Dance at Liverpool John Moores
University as well as a Degree in Dance, Drama and Performing Arts at Edgehill
University. I decided to open my own Dance Academy focusing on inclusivity,
learning new skills, a love of music and fitness. I pride myself on having an
inclusive academy where EVERYONE MATTERS! I continue my professional development
in working with children and young people as I am passionate about each of my
pupils reaching their individual potential.
