✨ A New Chapter Begins... ✨

We are delighted to announce an exciting new collaboration between First Position School of Dance and Hollywood Academy of Dance.

From September, Hollywood Academy will become part of the First Position family, bringing together the expertise, experience and shared vision of Natalie Pearl and Janne Carrington.

United by a passion for inspiring the next generation, this collaboration brings together exceptional training and unforgettable experiences—creating a place where every child is encouraged to grow in confidence, embrace new opportunities, and develop a lifelong love of dance.

While this marks an exciting new chapter, the heart of the school remains the same: nurturing every student as an individual, building lasting friendships, celebrating achievements, and creating memories that will stay with them long after they leave the studio.

This is more than a collaboration—it's the coming together of generations of experience, creativity, and a shared commitment to giving every child the very best start on their dance journey.

We can't wait to welcome you on this exciting journey with us. 🤍

9 incredibly brave FP dads took to the stage tonight to raise money for men’s mental health…..
I think it’s safe to say they had a ball, and judging by the noise from the audience and standing ovation, everyone watching did too!

Honestly couldn’t have been more proud, such an amazing thing to do infront of most of the dance school and friends and family , complete with glitter and guy-liner 🤩

The total money raised is almost £2.5k, which is just insane!!!! Congratulations you fabulous FP daddy’s!!!

Huge congratulations to Robin and Elijah for successfully auditioning for the English Youth Ballet….they will be performing in The Nutcracker in November ❤️🌟

Super excited to formally announce that FP has is its first ever Vice Principal! I had never intended to ever have a VP but there is only one person who ever could be…..trained from teeny at FP, mentored by me for her RAD CBTS, observed, assisted and used FP pupils for all her teaching exams , loved by children, teenagers and parents , and let’s face it, she told me she would never leave the school, even when she went to work as a character and dancer at EuroDisney …

Lydia - VP of FP 💕 love you so much and it is your rightful role and couldn’t ever belong to anyone else!

Two Lainey’s of very different generations!
My first show 1992, Corben’s 2026 😆 and yes I still remembered every step of the finale 🙌🏼

Couldn’t be any prouder of my ex FP baby (well never ex, always!) Corben in his first Laine’s show! The standard as always with Laines was absolutely awe inspiring, world class, and without a doubt Corbs shone like the absolute superstar he is!
Matt Cole is doing the most incredible job as Principal and Artistic Director, keeping the Laine legacy going from strength to strength.

Love you so much Corbs and looking forward to seeing you back home in the summer ❤️

The shirt was donated by former England kit man Tom McKenchie, who worked with the England team for more than 20 years and supplied official teamwear under FA contract.
