We are really excited to welcome Poppy Barnes to our teaching faculty in Kingston upon Thames. 😊 ⁣

Originally from Northumberland, Poppy started her Classical Ballet training at a young age, studying all RAD graded and vocational exams up to Advanced 2 level. ⁣
⁣
She continued her training at the Royal Academy of Dance on the Ballet Education Degree programme in London. This gave her the opportunity to train in a wide variety of teaching settings, including with multiple private ballet schools, and professional community platforms. Alongside this, Poppy achieved the Licentiate of the RAD qualification with distinction, providing her with detailed knowledge of the RAD syllabi and ballet teaching. She has continued her studies, gaining a MFA in Dance and Embodied Practice at the University of Roehampton in 2023.⁣

Poppy works as a freelance Dance Artist and Teacher in London. She has had the pleasure of working with organisations including One Dance UK, New Adventures (Overture Cohort), and Amici Dance Theatre Company. Poppy is excited to be joining the team at Prima Dance Academy!
