"I am Lucy, I’m 16 years old, and I am very happy to be the new head student. I have been with Allied nearly 10 years and it has been an amazing journey so far with still many things to learn. I enjoy dancing as it is an escape from reality and a time where you can express yourself endlessly. I also like the lifelong friends I have made at Allied and the loving and positive environment in every lesson. I enjoy activities such as art and spending time with friends. I am grateful for the opportunities Allied has provided for me as it opens many options in the future and has prepared me for any challenge. I have yet to figure out what career I want to pursue, however I am sure dance will be a part of it and Allied will certainly be included in my future. I am looking forward to spending more time with the amazing deputy heads and including friends and family alongside my new role."
