All our lessons take place in 2 spacious studios. Studio 1 is a fully equipped ballroom and Studio 2 is a ballet room; these rooms are ideally suited to accommodate all dance styles.

We offer lessons in ballroom, latin, freestyle, jazz, contemporary, ballet and pointe, street, gymnastics dance, rhythmic gymnastics, tap, stunt (by audition only), cheerleading, zumba, riverdance and freestyle teams(by audition only). Whatever the dance style you choose our main priority is your enjoyment.

Pupils can begin at our school from the age of  2 1/2 and we have classes graded by age and ability for all pupils.
