Dance Instructor - Ballet

Deirdre Griffin LaHue started in ballet at age 3 and trained at The Washington School of Ballet in DC, where she is originally from. After high school, she went on to dance with The Washington Ballet and with Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre. Now a soil scientist with Washington State University, she loves maintaining her connection to ballet. She has lived in Anacortes since 2019 and began taking adult ballet classes with Fidalgo Danceworks in January 2023. She is now excited to be teaching ballet on the staff of Fidalgo Danceworks. Previously, Deirdre taught ballet at Applegate Dance Company in Davis, CA. When she is not dancing or researching soil, she enjoys exploring the Anacortes Community Forest Lands with her husband and 2-year old son.
