Jacqui Richards A.I.S.T Dip

Jacqui first started dancing on an RAF Camp in Germany in a neighbours front room! On returning to the UK at the age of 9, she found herself a dance school and informed her Mum she wanted to go. Within months she took her first ballet exam with Cynthia Hancock passing with Honours.

From there she regularly attended The Hammond in Chester at weekends until the age of 16 and from there went to Merseyside Dance and Drama Centre in Liverpool and trained with Gaynor Owen. Within 3 years Jacqui passed all her teaching exams and went on to open her first school at Coppenhall Sports Centre, Crewe.

From there it was a steady progression and opened her own studio 1990 whilst still studying to further her skills and gained her Associate Diploma whilst running an ever growing dance school and raising 4 children. In 1996 a 4 break year for a couple more children but she couldn't keep away and decided to start once again.
