We offer an enjoyable and broad-ranging introduction to the performing arts, as well as the specialist training required when pursuing a career in the disciplines.

Regular weekly classes are supplemented by workshop days, summer schools, competitive dance festivals, Performance groups as well as audition coaching for vocational schools.

ACHIEVEMENT:
All pupils are encouraged to achieve the best they can. We offer regular grading opportunities for modern, tap, ballet and jazz. Our results boast the highest grades.

PERFORMANCES:
All pupils are given the opportunity to perform in the annual Summer Show. This gives all dancers a fantastic opportunity to perform in a professional theatre environment, with the disciplines of costuming, lighting, staging, rehearsals and a big enthusiastic audience.
We offer opportunities to perform in the local pantomimes, fashion shows and in many charitable events. We have provided dancers for pop videos, the New Brewery Arts opening, Painswick Wearable Art Festival, the Royal International Air Tattoo Fairford, as well as Her Majesties theatre London.
