Erin Livings, Director

Miss Erin brings focus and precision to every class she leads. With training in Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Lyrical, Contemporary, Acro, and Hip Hop, she skillfully guides students through each step with clear direction and steady encouragement. Her commitment to growth matches her passion for teaching - she’s currently exploring teacher training programs to deepen her skills. Miss Erin is excited to bring back Academy of Dance to Peterborough. She has developed a foundation program for our young dancers to give them their best start in dance. In her classes, dancers don’t just move - they understand.

Our History

Academy of Dance was the brainchild of JoAnne Mitchell-Agar. She ran this successful studio for decades, launching many dance careers. She was renowned in the dance community for her dedication to clean technique and building strong dancers. In 2002, she sold the studio to her student, Mandy Juby Livings, so she could focus on her work in the school system. Academy continued to grow and is now being revitalized under the direction of Erin Livings. Miss Erin has created a program for our Junior dancers to continue Mrs. Agar’s tradition of technique, artistry, and excellence.
