Our Principal
Hi, I’m Miss Laura and my favourite thing is teaching dance, especially ballet! I believe that dance is far more than a weekly activity and the friends that you make whilst dancing will often become your friends for life, while dance classes themselves offer important life lessons such as working as part of a team, discipline, manners, independence, a tenacious attitude, grace and poise. If you’re not already a student, we cannot wait to welcome you into the Carnaby School of Dance family!
