Nicola joined LMA Singing and Performing Arts’ adult group in 2021 and quickly discovered a true passion for performance, singing, and drama. Since then, she has taken on a variety of roles, from starring in pantomimes to performing in a range of shows, making her journey both exciting and rewarding. Inspired by her experiences on stage, Nicola has also become more involved behind the scenes as part of the production team, alongside supporting as a coach. She is passionate about working with the incredibly talented Minis, Juniors, and Performing Arts students, and takes great pride in helping to nurture their confidence, creativity, and love for the stage.

Sarah has been dancing from a young age and specialises in Ballet, Tap, and Modern Jazz. She began assisting at a local dance school at just 14 and continues to teach within the local community. Sarah became part of the LMA family in 2021 when her youngest child joined. She initially supported choreography for the Minis group, and her role has since grown significantly. She now choreographs for a wide range of LMA productions across Minis, Juniors, and Performing Arts, and more recently has contributed to LMA Adults after joining the group herself in 2023. Sarah is passionate about working with young people and helping them build confidence in their performances. She strongly believes that singing and dancing are good for both the mind and the soul, and for her, music is simply part of everyday life. She particularly enjoys combining movement with singing, recognising how it lifts energy, enhances storytelling, and brings performances to life.
