About Holly

Meet the teacher and founder of Riverside Ballet.

Holly Kent B.A. (Hons), LRAD RTS

I have danced all my life, beginning at the age of 3 and can’t imagine life without dance.

As a child I studied ballet gaining my Primary-Grade 6 RAD exams and went on to gain my Intermediate Foundation-Advanced 2 which is one of the highest vocational qualifications available for ballet dancers. I took exams in IDTA and ISTD modern and also studied Jazz and Contemporary dance styles.

In 2006 I fulfilled my lifelong ambition to go to the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) in London, where I acquired a First Class Honours Degree Ballet Education. Whilst at the Royal Academy I was awarded the status of Associate of the Royal Academy of Dance (ARAD), my Licentiate of the Royal Academy of Dance (LRAD) and RAD Registered Teaching Status (RAD RTS). These qualifications permit me to teach the RAD syllabus and to enter dancers for their exams.

Every year I undertake further training through the RAD and other organisations, keeping my teaching and syllabus knowledge up-to-date.

In addition to my passion for dancing, I am an enthusiastic choreographer and have experience of choreographing festivals, musical productions and concerts.

In 2009 I founded Riverside Ballet, which has grown in size each year and is now over 140 dancers strong!!! My mission is to provide all my students with dance tuition of the highest quality and share my love of dance, so that classes are fun and memorable.
