Anna Kavanagh

Principal

LISTD DDE RAD PRTS

Anna started dancing at the age of three, in a local dance school in Crosby and moved to Procter Dance Academy when it first opened in 2000. At the age of 18 she pursued her passion for dance and attended Merseyside Dance and Drama Centre for 3 years vocational training. After graduating in 2008 with a Diploma in Professional Dance (Distinction) and a recognised teacher status from the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance, she spent another 2 years with Procter Dance Academy as a teacher until 2010 when she was offered her first professional performer’s contract with Costa Cruise lines. Anna spent 6 1/2 years dancing at sea as part of the production cast, working with wonderful choreographers, performing in spectacular shows and travelling around the world.

Anna returned to Procter Dance Academy as a teacher and expanded her teaching qualifications with the RAD. In 2024 Anna was offered the wonderful opportunity to step into the role of Principal of the dance school.

“I have been a part of Procter Dance Academy from the beginning, as a student and teaching along side Lorna Cook (Founder.) The school holds a special place in my heart. I will continue to share my passion for dance with every student.”
