About Us

The Lucy Collins Academy (LCAD) was established in 1995 in the Methodist church hall in Eccleston! A strong desire to pass my passion of dance on to others and to create a family focused dance school that has something for everyone. ‘Dance for All’ is what I’ve always stood by and over the 28 years we’ve provided happy but disciplined dance for children and adults. We started off with 20 children and quickly grew to offering Ballet, modern, tap, jazz and pointe as regular lessons but also musical theatre and contemporary as add on classes! We run RAD ballet exams and ISTD modern, tap and jazz exams on a yearly basis. And of course our highly professional shows at the Albert halls in Bolton are highly acclaimed! All our children get a chance to shine… this is really what LCAD is about. Friendship, confidence and enjoyment along side learning skills that the children will take into adult life! We also offer a range  of adult classes to enjoy and keep fit.

Beth

Mrs Collins started off as a mother figure to me as a young child and taught me everything I know about dancing and performing. She has since become a valued friend who I trust and respect so much! 

 

I went on to do dance at GCSE and A-Level due to her passion and talent inspiring me as a teenager! 

 

I have always respected Lucy but even more so since becoming a teacher and a parent myself. As soon as I became a parent, I knew my children would attend the dance school and wanted them to have the chance to enjoy the experiences Lucy has to offer at LCAD! Since being there, my daughters confidence has grown and she can’t wait to do the next show!
