About Lancashire Dance Academy Lancashire Dance Academy was founded in 2008 by Lynsey Kidd. Lynsey started dancing at the age of 6; she then went on to gain a prestigious place at The Royal Ballet school aged 11. During her time at The Royal Ballet School, she performed with the Royal Ballet Company in their productions of Nutcracker and Swan Lake along with the London city Ballet in a production of Coppelia. Lysney also experienced training at the Vaganova Academy in Leningrad, Russia. Lynsey completed her training at the Central School of Ballet, graduating with three highly sought after contracts: Meg in the West End musical Phantom of the Opera, London city Ballet, and Northern Ballet. Lynsey secured a contract with The Northern Ballet and spent eleven years performing nationally and internationally. On retiring from the stage Lynsey went on to achieve distinction in both I.S.T.D. and I.D.T.A. teaching qualifications; she now teaches at various vocational schools as well as Lancashire Dance Academy. Lynsey is a member of the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (I.S.T.D.), one of the world’s leading dance examinations boards. From Ballet to Ballroom, the I.S.T.D. cover the full spectrum of genres, and for more than 100 years, have provided training for dance teachers and examiners, enabling them to enter their students for examinations, to develop new techniques and to spread the joy of dance.
