Vicky Darwin
Vice Principal & Teacher
Hello
My name is Victoria Darwin and I’m the Vice Principal of The Loughborough Academy of Dance. Dancing is in my blood and I am passionate about passing on the love of dance to future generations.
My Story
I have been dancing all of my life, following in my mother’s and grandmother’s footsteps. I spent many years dancing as a student, taking exams and medal tests and performing in shows at theatres including The London Coliseum and Blackpool Opera House.
​
At 18 I trained at Stella Mann College of Performing Arts gaining a diploma in Professional Musical Theatre. After spending a few years performing in professional contracts I returned home as the Vice Principal of The Loughborough Academy of Dance.
Upon returning, I set up ‘open classes’ to give students opportunities to study different dance disciplines that I had experienced in my professional training, classes that are still running and expanding.
