Meet Our Founder

Our founder and principal, Kerry Perks-Sismanidis, started her dance journey at just 2½ years old. At 16, she was offered places at many of the UK’s top performing arts colleges and went on to train at the prestigious Doreen Bird College in London.  

 

After graduating with a Dance Diploma and Teaching Associate qualifications in Ballet, Tap, and Modern, Kerry embarked on a successful professional career, performing on luxury cruise ships and international stages.  

 

She later founded K.P.S Productions, a company specialising in choreography and production for luxury hotels, cruise liners, theatres, and entertainment teams across Europe. With clients including Thomson, TUI, Grecotel, Louis Cruise Lines, and more, Kerry’s wealth of industry experience is infused into the classes and productions at Telford Academy.
