This 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.

Students who show aptitude can undertake further training/examination to become a registered BATD Teacher. NB BATD is an organisation validated by the Council of Dance Education and Training.
