St Albans-based Let’s Dance Academy is celebrating being selected as an affiliate school of The London Ballet Company for the local area.
Established in 1968, LDA has grown to become one of the largest schools in Hertfordshire with approximately 450 students attending classes each week.
Becky Sherman, who grew up in St Albans and studied with LDA from the age of three, has been the school’s principal since 2016.
She said: “I feel this will be an amazing opportunity for our dancers and a huge opportunity for us to improve and develop the classical ballet side of the school.
“I’m extremely proud of the hard work of both our students and teachers in securing such an opportunity.”
The selection process involved an interview and class observation to secure the affiliation and LDA will now benefit from yearly workshops and visits from The London Ballet company as well as the opportunity to perform with their professional dancers for the three-year duration of the affiliation.
