🌟 Meet the Echo Performing Arts Dance Leaders.

Today we are celebrating Larah Chapman.

Larah has been dancing with Echo Performing Arts since 2023 when she joined The Far Far Away Musical led by Harry. Alongside Lauren and Eleanor Grace, Larah trained with us to be a Dance Leader at the end of 2024. She has been leading at Fabulous Stars since this session was established in April 2025.

Larah is a very experienced and accomplished dancer incorporating Latin, Hip-hop, Disco and Jazz into her movements. She really knows how to work the room to bring us an energetic and fun Warm Up, preparing us all for dancing. Larah is a caring and warm friend and we love dancing with her so much.

🌟 Meet the Echo Performing Arts Dance Leaders.

Today we are celebrating Eleanor Grace Evans.

We first encountered Eleanor Grace’s dancing at the first ever Jazz Hands Dance session in January 2024. She trained to be a Dance Leader with us in our first course in late 2024 and has been leading ever since. Currently she leads in our online session on a Friday and she is one of the 5 brilliant leaders at Fabulous Stars.

Eleanor Grace is a beautiful dancer, she leads dances with her heart, and her wonderful movements tell a story. She is a multi talented woman - she recently acted onstage at the Brighton Fringe and is a powerful singer. Eleanor Grace is kind and supportive to her fellow Dance Leaders and a friend to all participants in the groups. She leads relaxing and inspiring Cool Downs, choosing music to fit the mood very well.

🌟Meet the Echo Performing Arts Dance Leaders.

Today we are celebrating Lauren Applegate.
Lauren is a founding member of the Wednesday Jazz Hands Dance sessions, and has been a dedicated dancer since this group started in January 2024. Lauren trained with us to be a Dance Leader in late 2024, and since then she has flourished leading every week with the Fabulous Stars group on a Friday.

Lauren brings delicate movements, beautiful ballet and inspires us all the time with her choreography and memory for routines. She can also show great confidence and sass as shown in our Britney Spears dance at the Brighton Fringe. Lauren has a great talent for leading Cool Downs which are very important for relaxing and stretching our bodies at the end of a session.

🌟Every day for the next 9 days we will be doing a meet the Dance Leaders special.🌟

Harry Fairchild
Harry is our original leader, and alongside Sarah in spring 2023, he created and started leading The Far Far Away Musical in Woodingdean. This was Echo’s first ever session and the seed from which the whole company grew.

Harry has incredible managerial skills, he is a confident and fun leader spreading so much joy through his sessions. He is an accomplished and fabulous dancer. He loves dressing up and is a great support and role model to the other Dance Leaders at Echo Performing Arts.
