Ballet
A beautifully artistic form of dance which is light and graceful. We love to marry up beautiful artistry and technique to promote a performer. we love to bring unusual inspiring pieces of music for each class to promote enjoyment and offer exciting interesting structures. The love of the art is what we want to pass on. we follow the ISTD syllabus.

Modern

Contemporary
Contemporary brings together movement from several other genres such as jazz, modern and ballet. It's essential to all aspiring dancers of the world and is now a fusion of ballet, contemporary and modern. We include stretching, which is very important for any dancer.

Tap
We follow the ISTD syllabus which is so much fun. Born from the fusion of cultures on American soil, influenced by African rhythms ,Irish stepping and English clogging.
Fun, Safe Learning
Ballet for Children & Teenagers
We offer magical fun and vocational classes for all ages. Children are encouraged to express themselves through dance and music for the younger ones, the essence of a good class is the magic of the music, imagination, enjoyment and fantasy combined with quality technique which has enabled many of our pupils to go onto higher institutions such as the Royal Ballet school, Tring Park, Elmhurst, Hammond, arts educational, and many more. Many have been lucky to get full scholarships including Surbiton High School dance scholarships. we follow the ISTD syllabus and most of our pupils do very well in their examinations.
We seem to pass on an absolute passion for dance and that is our foremost ambition and many just love to dance. For our talented students we offer auditions and many have gone on to dance with the National youth ballet, London children’s ballet, Surrey youth ballet English youth ballet. A few of our pupils have been lucky enough to dance with the Birmingham Royal Ballet company with the Nutcracker and other ballets.
