Hailey Prince began dancing at an early age, with dance schools 'Starlight Dance Co' (principle Miss Laura Swabe), Bladewelle school of dance (principle Vilna Wealthall) and Jo Heynes School of Dance (principle Jo Heynes).

In her final school, she determined it was time to start working towards a place in a full time dance college, so after achieving 11 G.C.S.Es, she applied and was awarded places in Elmhurst Ballet School, Laines Theatre Arts, Stella Mann, London Studio Centres and after careful consideration, she accepted the place from Elmhurst.

Hailey was accepted into Elmhurst Ballet School with a full three-year scholarship onto the classical and contemporary course. During her time at Elmhurst , Hailey was privileged to work with their professional teachers, especially influenced by Heather Fish, Alfreada Thorogood, her contemporary teacher Andre Devilliers and her singing teacher Jon Laird. She performed many works by famous and exciting choreographers such as Jiri Kyllian, Patrick Lewis and Paul Maddon and was given the opportunity to work with the MOBO awards backing dancing for Chakakhan. She was also given the opportunity to take her Associate exams in ISTD ballet and Modern, passing both with high marks as well as 1 A-level and 3 AS levels. Her final qualifications from Elmhurst amounted to a Higher National Diploma (HND) in Classical and Contemporary dance.
