Music & Dance Classes in Hackney & Stoke Newington

Lucy Sparkles & Friends in Hackney & Stoke Newington

The music and dance classes in Hackney and Stoke Newington are run by our local Head Sparkle, Lauren Sparkles.

Lauren Sparkles is an accomplished singer, dancer, actress, session musician and performing arts teacher.  Her qualifications include a Bachelor of Performing Arts (Hons) from Winchester University and Grade 8 Ballet, Classical Singing and Musical Theatre.  Lauren’s many talents include playing piano and ukulele and she incorporates these into her lessons.

When she’s not in the studio, Lauren can be found performing in and around London as part of a popular wedding and corporate band called ‘The X-Rays’ and she makes up one third of ‘The Haywood Sisters’, one of London’s top close harmony trios. Her performance credits stretch across the globe as Lead Vocalist on-board Carnival Australia cruise liners; The Opera House, Barcelona; and at home here in London performing at Kensington Roof Gardens, Regent Street Christmas light switch-on and the legendary Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club.

Lauren was proud to be the very first Lucy Sparkles & Friends Franchisee (Fulham, Putney and Wandsworth) and went from teacher to business owner. Lauren loved it so much she then went onto buy her second franchise on the other side of London (Hackney and Stoke Newington). “Its amazing how rewarding running your own business can be and I have learnt so much in just two and half years. Understanding how a child learns through drama, music and dance has been fascinating – I love it!”

In addition to Lucy Sparkles, Lauren provides private singing lessons for people of all ages and levels! Her love of teaching and influencing the younger generation stems back to her family as she is the youngest of four musical sisters, became an aunty at 17 and now has over 10 nieces and nephews!
