Our Teachers

Miss Lucy started dancing at the age of 2 at the Lynn Webb School of Dance starting with ballet. As her love of dance grew she joined Showstoppers Stage School to study Tap and Modern Theatre. Lucy competed internationally with the British Arts Awards winning the All Round Performer as a Junior.

Lucy was chosen to take part in professional pantomimes at the Kings Theatre in Southsea as a senior dancer.

As Lucy decided that a dance career was the chosen path for her, she worked hard to gain her major ISTD qualifications in all three disciplines, taking 9 exams in just 4 years. Lucy gained high grades in all her GCSE’s and A levels, and then went on to study at the Stella Mann College of Performing Arts in London. She graduated with a Diploma in Professional Dance, as well as her teaching qualification with the ISTD.

After graduating, Lucy started her dance career around the world, touring hotels in Cyprus the summer after graduating. She then headed to Bollywood, appearing in the world’s most expensive film, as well as in music videos. Lucy has also performed at the MTV awards in India alongside Tiesto, she also performed in a stunt show in Paris learning how to ride a jet ski out of a simulated tsunami.

After this Lucy set sail with Costa Cruises, travelling to Japan, China, Korea and Hong Kong. Lucy has also performed at many corporate events, award ceremonies and shows throughout the UK. Lucy has performed with both Little Mix & Craig David! She is still performing at many events across the South Coast and further afield.

Lucy has recently graduated with a first class BA honours degree in Professional Practice with Middlesex University and is now also qualified to teach Acrobatic Arts.

The Petersfield Dance Festival was created and developed four years ago by Lucy and is an amazing and friendly event with wonderful talent to be seen. There is no limit to Lucy’s creativity and stamina.

Babyballet Chichester and South Hants have been fortunate enough to have Lucy as one of their teachers for the past 4 years. She will now also be a wonderful asset to the Dancecatz teaching team.

Miss Emma started dancing at the age of 6 and quickly went on to attend lessons in all genres from Tap, Modern and Ballet through to Rock ‘n Roll, Jazz, Latin American and Disco.

She went on to train professionally to become a teacher at Southampton’s ‘Roynon Dance Centre’ where she left as a fully qualified dance teacher in many styles for all ages and grades under the ISTD board.

Emma has been teaching all over the UK for the past 8 years and also still performs professionally. With the southern based entertainment company Manic Stage productions, Emma has performed at many high profile events, corporate occasions and theatres and loves entertaining and being on stage.

Over the years Emma has taught for many state, private and dance schools. She has been a very successful teacher for our own Babyballet Chichester and South Hants for over a year now and is a firm favourite with the pupils she teaches. Emma also manages and teaches at BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing’s ‘Brendan Cole Dance Academy. She adores choreography and gets a great sense of satisfaction seeing her pupils grow in their performance skills and enjoy the routines she has developed for them.

Miss Emma is a great asset to the Dancecatz teaching team.
