Danielle
Principal
Hi, my name is Danielle Richards and I am the Principal teacher at Francis Academy.
Here’s a little bit about me – I’m a Fiancé and a Mommy to three beautiful children Phoebe, Noah and Matilda.
My passion for dance started from my very first ballet class at a very young age and since then dance has played a big part in my life.
I have danced for over thirty years and have 15 years+ Teaching experience following the IDTA (International Dance Teachers Association) syllabus. I’ve taken part in many festivals, theatre shows and IDTA examinations throughout the years, achieving Honours in my teaching qualifications.

If you’d like to have a chat please just reach out to me on Facebook or Instagram.
I’m more than happy to answer any questions you have and tell you a bit more about Francis Academy and what we do.
Some kind words...
I’m so lucky to work with so many amazing children. It means a lot to me to hear how much they get from dancing.
Danielle is lovely, very easy to ask for help and very supportive! My daughter was nervous at first but came out beaming and full of confidence.
