Victoria Dean

I am a freelance Ballet Teacher where I get to share my in-depth knowledge of technique with artistry to help pupils achieve their absolute best. Bringing the joy of dance to all ages from 18 months to adults is the most wonderful experience to have each week and there is nowhere I would rather be! I am a graduate of the Royal Academy of Dance's Ballet Education degree and the Licentiate course, providing me with the knowledge of the RAD syllabus.

Since graduating in 2020, I have taught across RAD Schools throughout London.
