We offer high-quality training in Ballet, Modern, Acro, Acrobatic Arts, Musical Theatre, Pre-School Ballet, and Street Dance, with classes based in Great Glen and Smeeton Westerby.
We proudly follow the British Theatre Dance Association (BTDA) syllabus, giving students the opportunity to take examinations and gain recognised qualifications. Our dancers also love taking part in festivals and competitions throughout the year, showcasing their skills and teamwork.
