The philosophy of the school has always been that the care and the nurturing of the children is the main focus. Classes are structured so that all the children learn the core subjects; Modern, Tap, Drama, Acrobatic and Ballet for the girls. Pupils can then choose to do extra optional classes, either for fun or because they wish to specialise. These additional options are: Street Dance, Singing, Team Acro, Boys Ballet and Elite Drama.
Marylyn and Jackie have always considered their pupils to be their children, an extended family. That ethos has remained as the numbers of pupils and staff has grown. Despite the schools size, and success, we still aim for the feel of a family business.
