Lucy has always had a passion for dance and performing! From the age of three, she attended Drusilla Duffill Theatre School, studying many dance genres and participating in local festival competitions and productions. In her late teens, she studied A level and BTEC Dance at Central Sussex College and continued to perform in local and community productions. After completion, Lucy went on to achieve a Diploma in dance education at the Deborah Lamb Theatre School and currently teaches dance across Sussex to children and adults of all ages. Lucy launched ‘Zumba with Lucy’ in 2016 and teaches several classes per week within the West Sussex area. To the Beat was launched in 2018 to give children the opportunity to dance throughout the year- not just in term times and it has continued to grow into weekly classes, after-school clubs, parties and much much more!  Lucy loves every aspect of her work as she explains that ‘teaching dance is such a rewarding job!’.
