Welcome!!
Dance In Action Studio (DIAS) established April 2009. Located in Beauly (12 miles from Inverness). Dance students enjoy excellent training facilities including harlequin sprung floor, ballet barres, mirrored walls, reception and changing area.
Our highly recommended dance school welcomes students from age three years. Students follow the British Association of Teachers of Dancing (BATD) grade syllabus in Ballet, Tap, Jazz and Modern. Contemporary/Lyrical and Commercial dance is offered through the BATD Freestyle branch. NB In addition to syllabus classes the school offers Lyrical and Pop Dance classes to students of Primary school age. Students have opportunity to take BATD examinations to vocational level. Students who show aptitude can undertake further training/examinations to become a registered BATD Teacher.
Undertaking grade syllabus work requires approximately 14 months of weekly attendance. NB attendance to additional classes is required in prep for examinations. Consideration is given to students wishing to attend class midway through a grade. Please contact the school to establish the possibility of attendance in such a circumstance. As well as examination opportunity students are expected to perform in the school's biennial show at Eden Court and are encouraged to participate in any workshops/masterclasses available. Students of the school of 10yrs plus who have a high standard of dance and performance could be invited to join one of the competition teams.
