Liz Cartledge
I met Liz at Northern Ballet School, she was technically brilliant, worked herself hard and she was friends with everyone. At the Ballet school she did all her associates and then followed me to Preston where she turned them into Certificates in Dance as her dream was to set-up her own Dance School.
Whilst she was studying her parents moved to Knoxville Tennessee and her partner moved to Birmingham leaving her alone with a handful of friends that were still in the country. This was a tough time for Liz as she had a very close relationship with her parents and her friends. After some time she weighed up her options and chose to leave her home town to be with her partner. In Birmingham Liz had to find her way around a new town, find a new job, make new friends and deal with her friends and family being so far away. As an adult this is much harder than it sounds as your personality tells you to be very aware of new people and environments.
I admire Liz because it took some time for her to find her feet again, she had to start from scratch and develop new relationships and most importantly find a dance school where she could teach and be happy.
The best thing is after Liz found a dance school that she liked she met a girl that has become a good friend and they are now starting their own dance school called Silhouette Dance Academy; she is on the RAD Course and also doing a DTLLS course so she will be able to teach A-level and BTEC Dance.
I am so pleased for her after everything she went through. Her dedication to make her dream real finally came true even when she was going through the most stressful, emotional time of her life.
I am confident that Liz will be successful, and her Dance school will be the best it can be because she won’t settle for anything less.
